EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully carved dish, adorned with the mark of Xuande (1426-36), a renowned Chinese artist. The dish, crafted from red lacquer on wood, is an exquisite example of 15th-century Chinese artistry. With a diameter measuring 54.3 cm, it is currently housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. The intricate design on this dish depicts an array of delicate flowers and plants that symbolize various meanings in Chinese culture. Gardenias, peonies, chrysanthemums, waterweeds, cherry blossoms, plates, peaches, prunus trees (also known as plum or apricot trees), camelias and lotuses all grace its surface. Each flower represents different virtues such as purity (lotus), beauty (peony), longevity (chrysanthemum) and prosperity (peach). These symbols hold great significance within Chinese art and are often used to convey messages of good fortune and auspiciousness. The detailed carving work brings these floral motifs to life with remarkable precision and skill. This photograph allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail up close; revealing the mastery behind this ancient craftsmanship. As we admire this extraordinary piece from centuries past through Bridgeman Images' lens capturing its essence flawlessly - let us immerse ourselves in the rich cultural heritage preserved within this stunning artwork.
