Bowl with landscape

China

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 215

Bronze makers are not always known in historical records; this is true of Li Qiyun, who left his mark on the base of this bowl. Despite the absence of his name in textual sources, the superb parcel gilding and composition of landscape scenes place its maker on par with any other master of the period.
