Reverse Glass Painting with yellow chrysanthemums
About the Item
This reverse glass painting, created in China in the early 1800s, embodies the delicacy and elegance typical of Eastern craftsmanship. At the center of the piece, two chrysanthemum-like flowers bloom gracefully from a decorated vase resting on an elegant pastel green stand. The chrysanthemums, with their fine and detailed petals, open in all their splendor, displaying shades that range from deep yellow to pure white, a powerful symbol of longevity and resilience in Chinese culture.
The vase, painted in a warm and bright yellow tone, is enriched with delicate geometric patterns that visually anchor it to the green stand. This small but precious detail adds a dynamic touch to the entire composition, perfectly blending tradition and design.
The dark gray background creates a striking contrast with the vibrant colors of the flowers and the vase, making each element of the scene stand out. The simplicity of the background only amplifies the beauty and serenity of the central subject.
On the back of the piece, the presence of Chinese inscriptions adds further depth to the painting's meaning. It is likely a poem, a delicate composition celebrating the depicted subject: chrysanthemums. In Chinese culture, chrysanthemums are associated with autumn and reflection, often symbolizing inner strength and the ability to thrive despite adversity. The poem inscribed on the back could be a poetic homage to the fleeting yet resilient beauty of the flowers and their ability to bloom even in the most difficult moments.
The dark frame surrounding the artwork, with its simple and linear design, serves as a perfect casing for this precious piece of art. Every detail, from the delicate petals to the inscriptions on the back, conveys a sense of quiet and contemplation, inviting the viewer to linger on this fragment of nature and poetry encapsulated in glass.
