Chinese Silk Paintings :: Gold Leaf Fishing for Life

Gold Leaf Fishing for Life

This mysterious-looking Chinese silk painting features an older man sitting on a side of a lake or river, underneath a tree, fishing. In the middle of the lake, you can see what looks to be like a boat with a tent and people sitting in front of it. This Chinese silk painting is 36 inches high and 72 inches long. It comes with lacquered brass geometric hangers, so that you can easily hang it anywhere you please. If you are a fisher yourself, you may want to display this in your office or living area. Fishing in Chinese culture has been in play since the Neolithic Age. Today, fishing is still very popular in China. One particular fisherman that stands out among the Chinese was Jiang Taigong, who would sing as he fished with his straight hook. His philosophy was to "take honestly rather than to plead for with the knees down". He liked to fish for nobility rather than fishing for the fish. He was later appointed Prime Minister by King Wen of Zhou. This particular artwork is hand painted on gold leaf silk covered paper and lacquered wood. The same style of China's Song Dynasty of the 10th century is used. This is indeed beautiful artwork that is a must-have, so order yours today!

Each Chinese silk painting is hand-painted on gold leaf silk-covered paper in the brush art style from the Song Dynasty of the 10th century in China. The paper is glued onto the four lacquered wood frames that make up each painting. A matted Chinese silk brocade border is crafted into every painting for a beautiful look. Our Chinese silk paintings are easy to hang, as they include lacquered brass geometric hangers. These stunning paintings can be used as a privacy screen or as an upright art piece (partly folded on a floor or table). Additionally, they may be easily mounted to any wall for attractive Asian inspired decor.
