Steed - Horse Named Hongyuzuo Chinese Fine Art Hanging Tapestry

The background is made of Chinese mottled paper texture pattern to set off the ancient flavor of Chinese ancient paintings. Giuseppe Castiglione, S.J. (simplified Chinese: 郞世宁; traditional Chinese: 郞世寧; pinyin: Láng Shìníng; 19 July 1688 – 17 July 1766), was an Italian Jesuit brother and missionary in China, where he served as an artist at the imperial court of three Qing emperors – the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong emperors. He painted in a style that is a fusion of European and Chinese traditions. Lang Shining, also known as Giuseppe Castiglione, created the exquisite painting "Red Jade Throne" as part of his series "Ten Steeds." This artwork features a majestic horse, symbolizing power and grace, seated upon a beautifully adorned red jade throne. The intricate details in the horse's mane and musculature highlight Lang's mastery of both Western realism and traditional Chinese aesthetics. The vivid colors and luxurious textures convey a sense of nobility and elegance, making this piece a captivating representation of imperial grandeur. The harmonious composition and rich symbolism reflect the esteemed status of horses in Chinese culture, particularly during the Qing Dynasty.
