EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing Blue and White incense burner, adorned with intricate paintings of Budai and playing boys. Created by the Chinese School in the 17th century during the Chongzheng period, this porcelain masterpiece stands at a height of 17 cm. The Private Collection that houses this remarkable piece is truly fortunate to possess such an exquisite artifact. The incense burner itself holds great significance as it is believed to depict the incarnation of Boddhisatva Maitreya, serving as the basis for the god of wealth. Its purpose as an encensoir adds another layer of mystique to its allure. In this image captured by Paul Freeman, we are drawn into a world where childlike joy and spirituality intertwine seamlessly. The chubby figure of Budai symbolizes happiness and contentment in Buddhism, while the playful boys surrounding him exude pure delight. The Asian influence is evident in every brushstroke, reflecting cultural nuances through artistry. This portrayal also hints at an itinerant lifestyle, possibly representing a wandering Chan monk or Po Tai - adding depth to its narrative. Paul Freeman's skillful photography allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind this stunning work of art from ancient China. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout centuries and leaves us captivated by its timeless charm.
