About the Item

Title: Japanese Phoenix in Flight: Antique Lithograph, 1880s Description: This captivating lithograph from the 1880s presents an elegant depiction of a mythical phoenix in flight, rendered in exquisite detail and soft golden hues. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed in Paris by the esteemed Imp. Lemercier & Cie, this work was directed by G. A. Audsley, whose dedication to the beauty and symbolism of Japanese art is evident in this striking composition. The phoenix, an enduring symbol of renewal and immortality in Japanese mythology, is depicted with gracefully curving feathers that swirl around its dynamic form. Its sinuous body and dramatic plumage are balanced by delicate foliage and blossoms that anchor the scene in the natural world. The use of gold and muted browns against a rich black background captures the sense of ethereal beauty and restrained opulence characteristic of Meiji-era art and design. The lithographic technique used in this print allows for subtle gradations of color and the fine detailing of the feathers and foliage, emphasizing the phoenix’s majestic presence and the careful artistry of the scene. This work is a beautiful example of the Japonisme movement that captivated European audiences in the late 19th century, offering a refined glimpse into the mythical and natural motifs that permeate Japanese decorative arts. Condition report: Good condition overall, with minimal foxing and slight edge wear consistent with age. The colors remain vivid and the intricate details are beautifully preserved, ensuring the print’s timeless appeal. Framing tips: Frame this lithograph in a simple dark wood or black frame to ground the luminous golds and soft browns. A neutral mat in soft cream or warm beige will create a balanced contrast, allowing the dynamic form of the phoenix to stand out and bringing a sense of refined elegance to any interior.
