EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Numinous Treasure Emissaries" showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 16th century Chinese School. The ink, color, and gold on silk painting is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. The focal point of this artwork is two prominent figures identified as numinous treasure emissaries who transmit speech. Riding atop a tiger and dragon respectively, these figures represent universal creative forces. The blue books they carry symbolize the Daoist scriptures, embodying profound wisdom and knowledge. Floating amidst ethereal clouds, these supernatural beings descend upon Earth to deliver their divine message. Rooted in Buddhist beliefs and Taoist philosophy, this painting embodies traditional mythological elements intertwined with spiritual significance. The intricate details captured by the artist highlight the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during that era. Every brushstroke brings life to these mythical creatures while evoking a sense of awe and reverence. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported to an ancient world where spirituality intertwines with nature's wonders. It serves as a reminder of our connection to something greater than ourselves - a testament to the enduring power of faith and belief. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this cultural gem through their fine art photography expertise. This print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical importance in bridging cultures across time and space.
