EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of Wen Cheng Hsing, the god of luck, originally published in The Kokka magazine in Japan during 1900-01. Created by the Chinese School in the 15th century and reproduced through a colour lithograph process, this artwork is a true testament to both cultural heritage and artistic mastery. Wen Cheng Hsing, also known as Wen-Chang, was revered as the deity of literature, books, and writing. As such, he held a special place among students and scholars who sought his blessings for success in their academic pursuits. This portrayal captures him on horseback with an aura of divine power surrounding him. The attention to detail is striking - from the vibrant red coat that symbolizes good fortune to the intricate brushwork that represents his association with writing. Additionally, there is a worshipper depicted alongside Wen Cheng Hsing; perhaps seeking guidance or inspiration from this literary patron. This image not only celebrates Asian culture but also pays homage to writers and authors across generations. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and borders while preserving traditions and beliefs. Displayed against a backdrop provided by Bridgeman Images' eArchives Charmet collection at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France; this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of Chinese mythology intertwined with artistic brilliance.
