Large Two-Sided Painted Elmwood Divider Screen Depicting Guanyin and Zhong Kui
About the Item
An antique Chinese unusual large hand painted two-sided elm divider depicting Guanyin and Zhong Kui, from the first half of the 20th century. This antique Chinese large hand-painted two-sided elm divider, circa 1920-1930, captivates with its unusual and striking visual appeal. The screen features two vibrant scenes, each unfolding against a rich, dark brown background that enhances the painted imagery's depth and detail. On one side, the revered Guanyin, bodhisattva of compassion, is depicted seated serenely on a rock near a flowing river, surrounded by elements of natural beauty that symbolize peace and enlightenment. The opposing side presents the formidable figure of Zhong Kui, the vanquisher of ghosts and evil beings, seen trampling demons with a dynamic stance, reflecting his strength and protective power.
Intricate calligraphy embellishes the right side of Zhong Kui's composition, offering an added layer of cultural significance and artistic finesse. The bold use of color and the skillful brushwork bring both figures to life, making this screen not just a functional divider but a magnificent work of art.
With its impressive size and masterful execution, this Chinese two-sided painted divider screen would serve as a dramatic focal point in any room, whether displayed against a wall or used to define spaces within a larger area. Its exquisite details and duality make it an ideal piece for introducing exotic elegance and a sense of history to a living room, hallway, or study.
