EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Chang Tao-Ling, a legendary Chinese master who is believed to be the true founder of existing Taoism. Created by an anonymous 18th-century Chinese artist, this watercolor on paper painting captures the essence of Chang's mystical persona. Intriguingly portrayed riding atop a majestic tiger, Chang exudes an aura of power and wisdom. His long flowing beard symbolizes his age and experience, while his piercing eyes seem to hold ancient secrets. Dressed in traditional Taoist robes, he embodies the celestial master archetype with grace and dignity. The artist skillfully brings out the spiritual essence of Chang through delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors. The sword held firmly in his hand suggests both martial prowess and metaphysical knowledge—a potent combination that defines him as a magician-like figure. This portrait serves as a testament to Chang's profound influence on Taoism—an influential philosophy that emphasizes harmony with nature, self-cultivation, and spiritual enlightenment. It invites us to delve into the depths of ancient Chinese wisdom embodied by this revered sage. Housed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this remarkable artwork offers viewers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of China. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of our connection to centuries-old traditions that continue to shape our understanding of spirituality today.
