Painting
Large religious scenes often decorated the walls of Chinese temples, monasteries, and shrines. This woman is from such a scene; a companion’s cut-off sleeve and hem can be seen at the lower left. The only other clue to her identity is her distinctively shaped staff. It is called a ju-i, which means “fulfilling one’s wishes.” Used by Chinese scholars as a lecturing pointer in the 4th-6th centuries, the ju-i was said in one humorous ancient commentary to have taken its shape from back-scratchers and its name from the satisfaction of relieving the itch! By the time of this painting, however, the staff had become purely symbolic, representing longevity and well-wishing.

Sculpture
This aspect of Guanyin, enthroned on his legendary mountain abode, Potala, was especially favored in China during the 12th and 13th centuries. The figure is seated in a position of Royal Relaxation. Its rustic base, visible at the left, symbolizes a rocky ledge of the mountain paradise, from which Guanyin beholds with sublime compassion the sufferings of earthly beings.
Public temple images such as this, gilt and richly polychromed, were often installed in an elaborate naturalistic setting. They combined the two concepts of the immutability of the Divine and the transitory nature of the world.

This gold-covered plaque, made in the Ordos region of Inner Mongolia, shows two ibexes, or wild mountain goats, face to face, their curved horns arching over their backs. Fleet and nimble, the ibex was a favorite subject for artists in many ancient and medieval cultures; tradition holds that an ibex leaping from a mountain would land unharmed on its double scimitar-like horns. The owner of this intricate plaque would have sewn it on clothing or a horse harness as a display of personal wealth and status.

Painting
When the Ming Dynasty fell in 1644, Zha Shibiao, like many Chinese scholars of the day, retired from public life and devoted himself exclusively to literary and aesthetic pursuits. In this scroll, Zha paints the time-honored theme of a lonely figure – perhaps a scholar-poet-painter, perhaps the artist himself – contemplating nature. Standing on a ledge overlooking a river, he gazes at the mountains beyond. His servant, seen through the tall group of trees at the lower right, waits patiently below. The trees, with clusters of leaves barely clinging to their branches, make it clear that this painting shows the melancholy season of autumn.
The wistful tone of the painting is reflected in the poem inscribed in the upper left:
Shadows billow in the deep-green of the mountains,
Ten-thousand rock-walls.
The air is still, yet reverberates with wind-sound.
Exhilarated, I wish to exhaust the limitless vistas.
The evening sun fades, diminishing the view.

At the lower right and center of this painting, a group of figures wait at a riverbank for the boat that will ferry them. The river, located at the base of a mountain range and fed by the large waterfall at the center, courses throughout the lower half of the painting. At the top right, a poem suggesting similar imagery reads
By the end of autumn, clouds and woods are not dense
The lotus flowers when open emit a pure perfume in the night
The moss is wet when the rain falls and the cool breath gives the roaring of the waves
The folded sail in the sunlight along the shore is shadowed on the bund
The ferryman with white head knows from a distance his passenger’s names.
Along with its beautiful imagery, this kakemono, or hanging scroll, shows clearly the imperfect science of attributing, dating and authenticating such works of art. Several scholars have examined the scroll since its arrival at the museum almost 60 years ago; each has a different opinion. Some believe it an authentic work by the artist; others think it a legitimate 19th-century copy of an earlier work; and some dismiss it as a 20th-century forgery.

Hand scroll with colophon.
According to the calligraphic text, Shen Chou, one of the major artists of the Ming Dynasty, painted this handscroll when he was 81 years old. It depicts a bold outcropping of rocks with trees and a small house. A waterfall pours down from a cliff into cascading springs. The stooped elderly man who has emerged from the house peers over the side of the outcropping at the rushing waters far below him.
The scroll, which would be unrolled and viewed from right to left, has seven added colophons. With their strong calligraphy, these colophons are beautiful works of art in themselves. They were probably written by the literary circle of the scroll’s owner; each offers the writer’s poetic commentary and thoughts on the painting and the artist.

Painting
Reverse glass painting is a technique by which the artist applies paint, usually oil, on the back of a clear glass panel. The pigment adheres to the smooth surface of the glass, retaining a fresh color similar to that of enamels. The glass becomes part of the picture by providing the ground for the paint as well as the cover for the artwork.
Although examples of this technique exist from the Roman period of European history, reverse glass painting was first introduced into Asia in the early 1700s. By the early 1800s, there was a large market for these paintings among European and American traders and travelers to China; most were made by Chinese artists specifically for export to the West. The most popular subjects were portraits, images of children playing at the Imperial palace, and landscape and harbor scenes.
