Flowers of All Seasons
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning and intricately designed mid-17th century folding screen from Japan, showcasing the beauty of various flowers throughout the year. The six-panel screen, decorated with ink color and gold on paper, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during this period. The screen is adorned with exquisite depictions of seasonal flowers, starting from the vibrant and colorful blooms of spring, featuring poppies and peonies. As we move towards summer, lotus flowers and irises take center stage, their delicate petals unfurling in the warm sun. Autumn is represented by the rich hues of papaver and other autumnal blooms, their petals falling gently to the ground, signaling the approaching wintry weather. The last panel of the screen is dedicated to the wintry landscape, with snow-covered branches and bare trees, symbolizing the end of the seasonal cycle and the beginning of a new one. The use of gold leaf and intricate ink work adds an element of luxury and opulence to the screen, making it a prized possession for any art collector or interior decorator. The screen's intricate design and attention to detail make it a beautiful addition to any indoor space, adding a touch of nature and color to the interior design. This unknown masterpiece, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a reminder of the beauty and richness of Japanese art during the seventeenth century. Its intricate design and stunning use of color and gold continue to captivate and inspire art lovers and collectors alike. Whether used as a decorative piece or a conversation starter, this folding screen is a true work of art that transcends time and culture.
