Chinese Floral Longevity Canopy Painting, c. 1900

About the Item

Thoughts of a long, happy life greeted the young couple who gazed up from their bed on this canopy panel. Adorned with chrysanthemums and peaches, both symbols of longevity, the lyrical motif was carefully painted on wood by an early 20th-century Chinese artist. The muted colors and darkened wood imbue this panel with an expressive character and a sense of history, perfect for hanging as artwork or mounting as a table top.

  • Chinese Reverse Glass Painting of Taoist Immortals, c. 1900
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Popularized during the Qing dynasty, reverse glass painting requires an artist to essentially work backwards, starting with details and shading before adding color and form. Lending the finished work a subtle three-dimensional effect, this exacting technique doesn't allow for any corrections, and is only revealed to its full effect when the glass pane is turned around. This example dates to the late 19th century and depicts the Taoist immortals He Xiangu and Cao Guojiu. Said to have attained immortality through their studies of the natural world, the Eight Immortals each represent a different condition in life and impart blessings of prosperity and longevity. The charming scene is likely one of a set of...
