Table screen with landscape

China

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 220

This table screen is among a very rare group of cloisonné enamel paintings of landscapes produced by the imperial Ming workshop. The blues and greens of the landscape evoke a golden age of Chinese painting. The meticulous and elegant treatment of copper wires to represent traditional brushwork demonstrates the successful application of Chinese taste and design to cloisonné, a technique imported from the West one century earlier.
