Marvelous Chinese art : A Trip to Chinese Paintings.


Chinese art is visual art that, whether ancient or modern,
 originated in or is practiced in China or by Chinese artists or performers. Early so-called "stone age art" dates back to 10,000 BC, mostly consisting of simple pottery and sculptures. This early period was followed by a series of art dynasties, most of which lasted several hundred years. The Chinese art in the Republic of China (Taiwan) and that of overseas Chinese can also be considered part of Chinese art where it is based in or draws on Chinese heritage and Chinese culture.

  4. Hi there! This is a good read. I will be looking forward to visit your page again and for your other posts as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about Chinese in your area. I am glad to stop by your site and know more about Chinese art. Keep it up!
    Artists from the Han (202 BC) to the Tang (618–906) dynasties mainly painted the human figure. Much of what is known of early Chinese figure painting comes from burial sites, where paintings were preserved on silk banners, lacquered objects, and tomb walls. Many early tomb paintings were meant to protect the dead or help their souls get to paradise. Others illustrated the teachings of the Chinese philosopher Confucius, or showed scenes of daily life.
    There are over 500 lots of porcelain in the sale. Highlights include a Doucai jar, China, painted with blue and green dragons, chasing pearls amidst clouds, with a ruyi pattern above, and a Qianlong mark on the base, measuring 7" x 7 1/2", valued at $3,000-$5,000 and a late 19th early 20th century, Chinese, Famille Rose Vase, the exterior painted with an idyllic rural landscape scene including, mountains and figures, with a Guangxu mark on the base, measuring 17" x 8 1/2" valued at $3,000-$4,000.
