EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary Lao-Tzu, a mystic and learned Chinese philosopher, riding on his buffalo with a devoted disciple following closely behind. Created by an anonymous artist from the 18th century Chinese School, this artwork is currently housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. Lao-Tzu, also known as Laozi or Lao Tseu, was not only a wise sage but also the founder of Taoism. His profound teachings and philosophical insights have influenced countless individuals throughout history. In this image, we witness him embodying his wisdom and tranquility as he confidently rides atop his buffalo. The composition exudes a sense of harmony and balance; Lao-Tzu's flowing robes billow gracefully in the wind while his long beard adds to his venerable appearance. The disciple faithfully trails behind on foot, symbolizing their unwavering commitment to learning from their revered master. As ruler of the third heaven and teacher of kings, Lao-Tzu holds a wand that signifies both authority and enlightenment. This depiction captures the essence of his teachings found within the renowned text "Tao Te Ching" which explores concepts such as naturalness, simplicity, and living in accordance with one's true nature. Through this remarkable painting captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported into ancient China to witness firsthand the presence of one of history's most influential philosophers – Lao-Tzu – whose legacy continues to inspire
