EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a timeless masterpiece from the Chinese Ming Dynasty, depicting the legendary figure of Lao-tzu riding his ox. Created by an anonymous artist from the 16th century, this ink and watercolor on silk composition is now housed in the prestigious National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan. Lao-tzu, also known as Laozi or Lao Tze, was a revered philosopher and mystic who lived during the 6th century BC. As the founder of Taoism, his teachings have had a profound impact on Chinese culture and spirituality throughout history. In this artwork, we witness him astride an ox - a symbol often associated with strength and tranquility. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors used by the skilled Chinese School artist bring this scene to life. The serene expression on Lao-tzu's face reflects his deep connection with nature and his pursuit of inner harmony through embracing simplicity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are transported back in time to witness one of China's most influential figures at peace amidst nature's beauty. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Lao-tzu's enduring legacy as both a philosopher and spiritual guide for generations to come.
