About the Item
This exquisite early and highly unusual Chinese export reverse glass painting from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) beautifully depicts a serene scene of deer, monkeys, and various wildlife in a lush, natural setting. The reverse glass painting technique, which involves painting on the back of a glass surface, allows for exceptional clarity and vibrant colors. This piece exemplifies the skill and artistry of Chinese painters who catered to Western tastes while maintaining traditional Chinese aesthetic principles. The detailed portrayal of animals and foliage captures a moment of tranquility and harmony in nature.
Reverse glass painting became popular during the Qing Dynasty, particularly in the 18th and 19th centuries, as part of the broader trade between China and the West. These paintings were highly prized by European collectors for their intricate details and vivid colors. This artwork not only reflects the technical prowess of Chinese artisans but also illustrates the cultural exchange that took place during the Qing Dynasty. The depiction of wildlife, particularly the deer and monkeys, holds symbolic meanings in Chinese culture, representing longevity, grace, and intelligence.

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.
