EDITORS COMMENTS
Emperor Minghuang and Consort Yang Engaging in a Game of Weiqi, 17th Century". This print captures a moment of leisure and intellectual pursuit during the Ming or Qing dynasty in China. Formerly attributed to Qian Xuan, this artwork showcases Emperor Minghuang and his beloved consort Yang engrossed in a game of Weiqi, also known as Go. The scene unfolds within the opulent confines of the imperial court, where vibrant colors and intricate details adorn every inch of the composition. The emperor sits opposite Consort Yang at an exquisitely crafted board game, their focus unwavering as they strategize each move with intensity. Surrounded by an array of majestic birds perched on delicate branches, this painting reflects both the grandeur of royal life and the tranquility found within shared pastimes. The presence of dogs symbolizes loyalty while adding a touch of playfulness to this regal setting. Ink and color on silk bring depth to every stroke, capturing not only the physical likeness but also conveying emotions that transcend time. This masterpiece serves as a testament to both artistic skill and cultural significance. Displayed proudly at the Arthur M Sackler Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art, it stands as a reminder that even emperors find solace in simple pleasures amidst their duties. A true treasure from China's illustrious history awaits those who appreciate its beauty at this esteemed scientific institution.
