EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in ancient Chinese history. Duke Wen of Jin, a nobleman from the Zhou Dynasty, is depicted here on his way to wage war against the state of Chu in 632 B. C. The image showcases the duke's remarkable humility and determination as he insists on tying his own bootlaces while accompanied by his loyal generals. The painting, created around 1200 during the Sung Dynasty, beautifully portrays this scene on a silk scroll with intricate calligraphy. The artist, Liu Sung-Nien, skillfully brings to life the majestic mountainous landscape that serves as a backdrop for this historic event. In this composition, we see Duke Wen surrounded by his horsemen and flag bearers who ride alongside him towards battle. Their uniforms reflect their status as warriors ready to defend their kingdom. Every detail in this artwork exudes nobility and strength. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery of Liu Sung-Nien and the rich history of ancient China. It serves as a reminder of the courage and leadership displayed by Duke Wen as he embarked on this crucial military campaign against Ch'u.
