"Painting of Spring Splendor"
Vertical scroll, ink and color on silk
Height: 169.2 cm, Width: 95.2 cm

This scroll depicts the season of blooming cherry blossoms, with a pair of pheasants perched on the rocks by the stream bank. The painting showcases a profusion of flowers, including the auspicious symbols of precious birds, lucky fungi, and bamboo branches. The rich and vibrant colors of the red-bellied pheasants, along with the enhancement of white highlights, effectively create a sense of lustrous plumage. However, there are no shadows of the birds on the ground. The portrayal of cherry blossoms and lingzhi mushrooms in the painting also focuses on variations in light and shade, emphasizing the careful use of color. The treatment of the rocky slope follows traditional Chinese ink techniques, with great attention paid to the depiction of the landscape. Through the hollows of the rocks, one can even see cherry blossoms and bamboo branches intertwining in the space behind. The composition of this scroll is more complex compared to "Eternal Longevity and Spring," and the rocky slope is no longer merely a backdrop for the botanical and avian subjects.

Lang Shining (1688-1766), an Italian born in Milan, arrived in China in the 54th year of the Kangxi reign (1715) and soon entered the imperial palace. He participated in the design of the Western-style buildings in the Yuanmingyuan (the Old Summer Palace) and served in the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties, engaging in painting in China for over 50 years. Lang Shining was commissioned to depict precious falcons, dogs, and spirited horses presented as tribute by Mongolian royal nobles and vassal states.

1- MOUNTED ON SILK BROCADE:
The painting comes with silk brocade and back support paper (ready to place in any frame with a transparent cover) After mounting on silk brocade, the total size of the painting will be larger. You can customize the mounting sizes via Etsy conversation.

2- MOUNTED ON HANGING SCROLL:
The painting comes with a traditional Chinese art silk scroll (ready to adorn any room you wish)
Mounting as a hanging scroll shows you a traditional graceful appearance. Hanging scrolls are typically used for vertical compositions. They are hung for display using a cord, which is attached to a thin wooden strip along the top of the silk mounting. There is a wooden rod at the bottom which provides the necessary weight for the painting to hang smoothly. It is also useful when the painting is rolled up for storage.

Horizontal Chinese paintings can also be made to be directly hung. There are two wooden rods and ribbons on both sides, which can be hung directly on two invisible Wall Mount frame nails. If it is used for direct hanging, it is best to choose to print on silk. Printing on silk is more durable than printing on rice paper.

3- MOUNTED ON HANDSCROLL:
Handscrolls are designed to be unrolled, from right to left, revealing one scene at a time. As each new section is unrolled, the previous scene is rolled up, giving the viewer the feeling of a journey through the landscape. It is a perfect mounting style for extra-long landscape painting like “Along the River During the Qingming Festival (清明上河图)” or “A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains (千里江山圖)”. Handscroll is not ideal for wall hangings, suitable for occasional enjoying the viewing as a collection or as a exclusive gift to a friend.

Paintings in China are not usually hung on walls, permanently on display. They are often mounted as handscrolls, rolled up and only brought out for special viewings. This is partly due to the delicate nature of the ink and color, which would fade if left exposed to light for a long time. The unrolling of a scroll is an act of some ceremony. Connoisseurs do not view the painting from a distance, as in the West, but approach close to "read the painting."
