EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring artwork of "Xuanwu, God of the North" from the Ming Dynasty. Created around 1500, this ink and color on silk masterpiece is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of ancient China. The image depicts Xuanwu, a prominent deity in Taoism, exuding power and wisdom. Standing at 57.6x46.2 cm, this divine figure commands attention with his commanding presence and intricate details that bring him to life. Formerly attributed to Bai Liangyu from the late 12th-early 13th century, this artwork now resides in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. It was generously gifted by Charles Lang Freer as part of his commitment to preserving cultural heritage. As we delve into this religious iconography, we are transported into a world where spirituality intertwines with artistry. The vibrant colors and delicate brushstrokes capture not only Xuanwu's physical attributes but also his spiritual essence. This piece serves as a reminder of China's deep-rooted religious beliefs and its reverence for deities such as Xuanwu. It invites us to explore Daoism (Taoism) through visual storytelling while appreciating Chinese culture's profound impact on global art history. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we can admire this remarkable work without commercial intentions but rather embrace it as an invaluable artifact that connects us to centuries-old traditions and spiritual devotion
