EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant and lively terracotta horse, serving as a funerary object during the Tang Dynasty in China (618-907). The image captures the essence of this ancient era, transporting us back to a time when horses were revered symbols of power and grace. The intricate details on this colourful horse are truly remarkable. Its meticulously crafted form exudes an air of majesty, with its head held high and tail flowing gracefully behind it. The vivid hues adorning its body bring life to the sculpture, showcasing the artistic prowess of the Chinese School during this period. Displayed at the Xi'an Beilin Museum in Shaanxi Province, China, this piece is a testament to the rich cultural heritage that thrived during the Tang Dynasty. It offers us a glimpse into their beliefs surrounding death and afterlife rituals. As we admire this magnificent creature frozen in time through Philippe Toutain's lens, we can't help but marvel at how art has transcended centuries to connect us with our ancestors' traditions. This photograph not only celebrates China's historical legacy but also highlights nature's beauty through its portrayal of animals – specifically horses – which have always played an integral role in human civilization. Whether you are captivated by wildlife or fascinated by ancient cultures, this stunning print serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries and continues to inspire generations across time.
