EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ancient Chinese Emperor and Empress holding court before courtiers boating in and drinking from a pond of rice wine and helping themselves to flitches of bacon" offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the imperial era. Painted with exquisite detail using watercolor and gouache on paper, this masterpiece by the Chinese School is now housed in a private collection. The scene depicted showcases an extravagant gathering where the emperor and empress preside over their subjects from an elevated platform. Surrounding them are courtiers who enjoy leisurely boat rides on a serene lake while indulging in copious amounts of rice wine. The abundance of food is evident as they help themselves to succulent flitches of bacon, symbolizing wealth and prosperity. The image exudes luxury, with lavish decorations adorning the dais where the royal couple sits. Pigs, revered for their association with good fortune, roam freely nearby, further emphasizing the super-rich status enjoyed by those present. This artwork transports us back to an era when excess was celebrated, highlighting both the extravagance of imperial life and its emphasis on feasting and revelry. It serves as a testament to China's rich cultural heritage while offering viewers a window into ancient traditions that continue to captivate our imagination today.
