EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of a funerary robe from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) in all its intricate glory. Created by the Chinese School in the 18th century, this satin masterpiece is now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Embroidered with vibrant silks and adorned with wrapped gold, this robe was designed for the wife or daughter of a noble. Its ornate decoration features an array of symbolic elements that hold great significance in Chinese culture. The presence of bats signifies good fortune and happiness, while swirling clouds represent prosperity and success. The exquisite craftsmanship is evident through every stitch, as delicate waves cascade down like flowing water and medallions add a touch of elegance to the garment. Spirals and decorative motifs further enhance its beauty, making it a true work of art. As you gaze upon this stunning piece, you can almost envision it fluttering gracefully amidst an Asian sea under cloudy skies. It serves as a testament to both traditional Chinese clothing and artistic expression during one of China's most influential dynasties. With its rich history and meticulous attention to detail, this funerary robe transports us back in time to appreciate the skillful mastery that went into creating such breathtaking attire.
