<B>UNKNOWN CHINESE ARTIST<BR></B></I><I>Lohans</B></I><BR>Reverse painting on glass<BR>17-3/4 x 25-3/4 inches (45.1 x 65.4 cm)<BR> Scholars are a popular subject in Chinese painting, an indication of the honor and pride bestowed upon them by the people and transferred into art forms. In this magnificent reverse painting on glass scholars seemed to be intermingled with what appear to be Chinese ‘Lohans’ in intense discussion on life and even otherworldly matters. According to ancient tradition the Lohans were individuals who had separated themselves from earthly pleasures and evils and had attained great wisdom and courage. Each artist who has sought to portray the Lohans in human form had their own interpretation. Here, vibrant colors and contrasts depict them as sometimes sullen, comical, but always interesting.<BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Requires 3rd Party Shipping (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
