EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a set of four exquisite banners from the Qing dynasty in China, dating back to 1750/75. Created by an unknown artist, these banners represent the rich artistic heritage of this period. The vibrant colors and intricate designs on the fabric are truly mesmerizing. Each banner is meticulously crafted with silk and gold leaf over lacquered paper strip wrapped silk slit tapestry weave, adorned with metallic thread and metal fittings. The attention to detail is evident in the painted details and lettering that grace these magnificent pieces. The banners are lined with luxurious satin damask weave silk, adding a touch of elegance to their already impressive appearance. Gold thread embroidery further enhances their beauty, making them true masterpieces of Chinese textile art. These banners served as standards or flags during ceremonial occasions or important events within the Qing dynasty. They symbolize not only the power and authority of this era but also reflect its cultural significance. Now housed at the Art Institute Chicago, this photograph allows us to appreciate these remarkable artifacts from centuries past. It serves as a reminder of China's rich history and artistic legacy that continues to inspire awe even today.
