EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Night-Shining White" from the Tang dynasty. Created around 750 AD by the talented artist Han Gan, this ink on paper masterpiece measures 30.8x34 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. The painting depicts a majestic horse, believed to be a favorite charger of Emperor Xuanzong (712-56), during his reign. The attention to detail is remarkable as every stroke brings life to this powerful creature. With its head held high and front legs gracefully suspended mid-air, the horse appears to be rearing up with an air of strength and elegance. Accompanying this stunning image are delicate calligraphy strokes that add depth and meaning to the composition. The text beautifully complements the artwork, enhancing its cultural significance within Asian history. As you gaze upon this extraordinary piece, you can't help but marvel at Han Gan's exceptional skill in capturing both realism and emotion through ink on paper. This photograph allows us to appreciate every intricate detail without compromising any aspect of its original beauty. Through Fine Art Finder's lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of China's most celebrated artistic achievements – a testament to human creativity that transcends centuries.
