Collection of Hand Drawn Rubbings of the Portraits of Luohans
About the Item
A collection of hand drawn rubbings of the portraits of Luohans from original engraved stone tablets that were commissioned in 1764 by the Chinese emperor Qianlong. The engravings were done in tribute and as preservation of the remarkable paintings of renowned artist Guanxiu (832-912). They were housed in the Shengyin Temple of Qiantang (present day Hangzhou) that was destroyed, along with its contents and the paintings, during the Taiping Rebellion of the mid-19th century. The tablets mounted like facets into a marble stupa remained unharmed during the rebellion. Rubbings were commissioned from these stones from the latter half of the 19th century to the early 20th century. As these stones are important cultural property, it is our understanding that rubbings are no longer permitted, to preserve the stones for all posterity.
