EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Table Screen from the 19th century, crafted by the skilled hands of Chinese artists. The screen, made of green jade and wood, is currently housed in the prestigious Manchester Art Gallery in the UK. The exquisite craftsmanship of this piece is evident in its intricate details. On one side, a bamboo motif is delicately engraved alongside a fragment of a poem. On the reverse side, beautiful peonies accompany the rest of the poem. The words inscribed on this screen evoke a sense of tranquility and nostalgia: "Moonshine is unloosened and the world is gone out; A young bamboo leans on the rocks, tall and alone. It makes me think of dear bamboos of Yang Chuan; Their ghosts, only drawn, will be very like their reality". Every element in this artwork has been meticulously designed to create an ornate decoration that reflects East Asian aesthetics. The wooden stand adds elegance to its overall presentation while emphasizing its importance as both an artistic and functional object. As we admire this extraordinary table screen captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back to ancient China during the Qing Dynasty. Its calligraphic poetry celebrates nature's beauty with bamboo symbolizing resilience and peonies representing prosperity. This photograph not only captures an exceptional work of art but also invites us to appreciate Chinese culture's rich heritage and artistic traditions.
