Subjects: bamboo

Bamboo, which bends without breaking, has long been a symbol of integrity and strength. It was also a favorite subject of Ming and Qing scholar-painters. Xia Chang, a native of the Suzhou region, enjoyed a successful official career that led to his appointment as minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices in 1457. He expanded Wang Fu's (1362–1416) style of bamboo painting to become the leading bamboo painter of his time, famous even in Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia. Applying calligraphic techniques to painting according to the precepts established by Zhao Mengfu (1254–1322), Xia Chang executed his bamboo stalks in the archaic seal-script style and his bamboo twigs in the "grass," or cursive-script, style. Xia Chang's calligraphic mode of bamboo painting was followed by many later Ming and Qing painters.

The guards, usually of iron or steel, were subject to a variety of embellishment. They were engraved, chiseled, gilded, damascened, and encrusted in gold and silver in keeping with fashionable styles. Unless otherwise noted, the materials, attributions, and dating given here refer to the hilts. Rapier blades, invariably of steel, bear a variety of maker’s marks denoting their origin in the two principal centers of blademaking, Toledo in Spain and Solingen in Germany.

Ghosts of the Taira at Daimotsu Bay

Culture: japanese

Artist dates: 1797 – 1861
Subjects: men,waves,boats

The sea itself seems to convulse as an army of ghosts emerges in the distance to menace a ship full of warriors of the Minamoto clan, recalling an ancient battle. In spring of 1185, the Minamoto clan vanquished the rival Taira clan in a decisive sea battle, ushering in a period of warrior rule. Kuniyoshi describes the Taira ghosts with fluid forms in a soft palette, a contrast to the vivid colors and razor-sharp clarity of the foreground. Kuniyoshi often used silhouette—itself a symbol of evanescence—as a method of depicting such ethereal subjects as ghosts, around which developed a genre that became increasingly popular in the nineteenth century.

While there are numerous depictions of Apollo and the nine muses, these ones are exceptional. In Greek mythology, Apollo is the god of music and harmony and his sisters, the muses, are the goddesses of art and science and symbols of inspiration. Le Blond portrayed each of them separately, making music. Dressed and coiffed according to the latest Parisian fashion around 1630, they have thus become contemporary.
