明中期 掐絲琺瑯山水人物圖插屏|Table screen with landscape

Unknown

second half 15th century · Cloisonné enamel, wood frame and stand · Asian Art

This table screen is among a very rare group of cloisonné enamel paintings of landscapes produced by the imperial Ming workshop. The blues and greens of the landscape evoke a golden age of Chinese painting. The meticulous and elegant treatment of copper wires to represent traditional brushwork demonstrates the successful application of Chinese taste and design to cloisonné, a technique imported from the West one century earlier.
