About the Item

A six-panel screen, painted in ink on oxidized silver leaf, depicting galloping horses in the style of the finest Chinese paintings. The horse is a universal symbol of freedom. Horses occupy a prominent place in traditional Chinese culture and also play an important role in classical painting as a symbol of energy, ambition, and aspiration. The horse is the seventh Chinese zodiac sign. This screen is a beautiful size and is in excellent condition, with sturdy hinges. If you wish, we can provide free petal hooks to attach the screen to the wall. Lucio Morini has been a specialist in Japanese screens for many years, and his gallery presents a wide selection of these works of art.

Edo Landscape Japanese Folding Screen
By Japanese Studio
Located in Brescia, IT
Refined work by a painter from the first half of the 19th century, from the landscape of the "Rinpa" school by a painter from the end of the 18th century, the Rinpa school. Six panels painted in ink on gold leaf and "gofun" on vegetable paper. The flowers are made with the "gofun" technique, natural or pigmented white oyster powder. Rinpa is one of the major historical schools of Japanese painting. The style was consolidated by the brothers Ogata Korin (1658–1716) and Ogata Kenzan (1663–1743). This folding screen has a very clean design that leaves plenty of room for the beautiful golden landscape. It comes flat and you can easily hang it with our hooks. Lucio Morini...
