EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting world of Chinese Magicians and Sorcerers. Taken from an illustration by Bernard Picart, a renowned artist from the 18th century, this image is part of his work titled "Ceremonies et Coutumes Religieuses des Peuples Idolatres" published in Amsterdam in 1798. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness a gathering of mystical beings that seem to have emerged straight out of ancient folklore. A majestic dragon looms overhead, its scales glimmering with otherworldly allure. The sorcerers and magicians surrounding it exude an air of wisdom and power, their moustaches adding an extra touch of mystique. The intricate details captured by Picart's engraving bring these magical creatures to life before our eyes. Each character possesses a unique aura, hinting at their individual abilities and roles within this fantastical realm. From the wise old wizard to the mischievous magician, they all contribute to the rich tapestry of Chinese mythology. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork, we are transported into a world where magic reigns supreme – where dragons soar through celestial skies and sorcery holds limitless possibilities. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, cultures around the globe have embraced tales of wonderment and supernatural powers. This remarkable print allows us to delve into the depths of imagination while paying homage to both Chinese culture and artistic mastery.
