Wall panel with poetic scenery of autumn
This panel features enameling with an exceptional tonal range and gradation of color and finely tooled metal cloisons. The intricately rendered “blue-and-green” style landscape is based on a pictorial model created by a court artist. Composed by the Qianlong Emperor, the poem on the top left follows a brushed model provided by the scholar official Yu Minzhong (1714–1779), who served as chief grand councilor, editor, and scribe to the emperor. Such a complex collaboration between emperor, official, and imperial workshops only occurred during this golden age of Chinese court-sponsored art.
