EMPEROR HUIZONG. Finches and bamboo

Finches and bamboo. Artist: Emperor Huizong (Chinese, 1082-1135; r. 1100-25). Culture: China. Dimensions: Image: 13 1/4 × 21 13/16 in. (33.7 × 55.4 cm) Overall with mounting: 13 3/4 in. × 27 ft. 6 5/16 in. (34.9 × 839 cm). Date: early 12th century. Huizong was the eighth emperor of the Song dynasty and the most artistically accomplished of his imperial line. Finches and Bamboo exemplifies the realistic style of flower-and-­bird painting practiced at Huizong's academy. Whether making a study from nature or illustrating a line of poetry, however, the emperor valued capturing the spirit of a subject over literal representation. Here the minutely observed finches are imbued with the vitality of their living counterparts. Drops of lacquer added to the birds'eyes impart a final lifelike touch.
