About the Item
Title: Japanese Phoenix in Vibrant Flight: Antique Lithograph, 1880s
This magnificent lithograph from the 1880s showcases an exquisite depiction of a phoenix soaring across a vivid red backdrop, a powerful symbol of rebirth and renewal in Japanese art. Published by Sampson Low
Co. and printed in Paris by the masterful Imp. Lemercier
Cie, this work was directed by G. A. Audsley, a British artist who played a significant role in introducing Japanese design to European audiences during the height of the Japonisme movement.
The phoenix, with its flowing tail feathers rendered in a stunning array of greens, blues, reds, and yellows, emerges with dynamic elegance against a bold, red ground. Surrounding the majestic bird are delicately stylized leaves and blossoms, adding a sense of life and vitality to the composition. The overall design is enclosed in an olive-green border featuring a refined geometric floral pattern, providing a sophisticated frame that perfectly balances the rich drama of the central image.
The bold colors and intricate patterns in this print exemplify the Meiji-era fascination with traditional Japanese symbols and their transformative power in Western design. This lithograph is a remarkable piece for collectors of Japanese art, antique textiles, or those seeking to bring a sense of movement and vivid color into their interior spaces.
Condition report:
Excellent condition for its age, with minor foxing and age-appropriate wear along the edges. The colors remain remarkably vibrant, and the fine details are well-preserved, maintaining the lithograph’s rich visual impact.
Framing tips:
To highlight the vibrant red background and the dynamic form of the phoenix, frame this piece in a simple black or dark wood frame. A soft cream or warm beige mat will provide a subtle contrast, ensuring the phoenix remains the captivating focal point of this elegant and historic work.
