EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent piece of Chinese history - the Mans Jifu (Semiformal Court Robe) from the Qing dynasty. Created between 1720 and 1740, this exquisite robe is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of court dress during that era. The robe features intricate designs and vibrant colors, reflecting the rich artistic heritage of China. Its golden threads and gold leaf embellishments add a touch of regality, while mythical creatures such as dragons and beasts adorn its fabric, symbolizing power and protection. Every detail has been meticulously crafted - from the silk plain weave cuffs lined with silk self-patterned by areas of plain gauze crossings to the neck trim made with silk warp float faced satin weave. The metal buttons further enhance its elegance, making it an object of admiration for art enthusiasts worldwide. Displayed in Chicago's renowned Art Institute, this artwork represents not only Chinese culture but also serves as a window into the fashion trends prevalent during the eighteenth century. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating such garments and their significance within historical contexts. As we gaze upon this stunning photograph print by Unknown artist, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the splendor of China's past dynasties.
