History of China's extraordinary natural stone paintings:
This art form is centuries of years old since the Ming dynasty. Dream stones became favored art in the west particularly since the 19th century when French collectors named them Pierres de reve.
This thin marble stone painting is approximately 1/4 inch thick and is cut from a large slab of rough material revealing incredible patterns in soft white and gray colors. After cutting, a thin coating of wax is carefully applied to its surface to protect and reveal its beautiful subtle colors and often each painting is signed with a poetic verse and seal of an artisan who describes its majestic beauty. The weight of each frame is surprisingly modest- easily hung with standard hardware.
On occasion, private collectors would invite an artisan to inscribe a poetic description onto their more important dream stones and in this case the artists' seal mark and calligraphy translation reads: Beautiful Land of long sides of Mountains. To find examples possessing clear, contrasting detail like these is indeed a rare find. Fine stone paintings like these examples are rare as access to and availability of resource material diminishes and old antique examples like this exceptional set of sixteen are hard to find now.
Provenance: Private Chinese collection, Yunnan, China.
