Description

This group of board paintings consists of twelve pieces, depicting the scene of Yongzheng and his children sharing the joy of family in the Old Summer Palace through enamel painting. The content is presented over a period of twelve months, with grand scenes, characters and buildings seamlessly integrated, and delicate paintings without any mistakes. The board painting has a pure white and firm texture, a tight structure, delicate like jade, and a creamy and moist glaze that emits a solemn and elegant royal atmosphere. The processing method with a ginger yellow tone as the main theme boldly conveys the concept held by emperors throughout history that "under the sky, there is nothing but royal soil". All of this demonstrates the basic characteristics possessed by the imperial kilns of the Qing Dynasty. The twelve enamel colored porcelain panel paintings showcase the scenery of the Old Summer Palace, giving us a glimpse of its former true appearance that has disappeared. The invasion of the Eight Nation Alliance made it impossible for the Old Summer Palace to revive again. However, people can appreciate the greatness of ancient Chinese horticultural engineering through this set of porcelain paintings. The classic architecture in the Old Summer Palace may be forever preserved in the minds of Chinese people. (Note: Comes with a mahogany frame at the back)
