Description
White Rose is a brush painting in traditional Chinese "gongbi" style with watercolor and ink on rice paper.
China has many different native flowers and each will represent different meanings, be used in different context. While some flowers are considered to represent China as a nation, others are used to identify different cities or provinces, as well as the 12 months of the year, and the different seasons.
Peonies are the flower of spring, also known as the "queen of flowers." The flowers symbolize fame and wealth. Red peonies are the most desired and valuable, while white peonies symbolize young, witty, beautiful girls.
These beautiful spring flowers are a favorite for many people. They are also known as the King of Flowers in China since they were the first to be cultivated in the country.
The flower painting is peculiar to China. All kinds of flowers and plants were given various symbolic meanings. Flowers can be compared to almost all thoughts and feelings of human being. They can symbolize feminine beauty, virtues, political authority, omens, and lucky niceness. And once established, this tradition became popular in every dynasty. Therefore their symbolic meaning grow increasingly rich and specific.
In China the calligraphy always belongs to the painting. It’s like the signature from the artist. The bigger characters are always the title of the painting. The smaller calligraphy shows the name of the artist and sometimes where and when the painting was created.
On the picture is written „bai jie hua yu shang hai” what means “Painted by Bai Jie in Shanghai”
Bai Jie is my Chinese name.
You can also buy it without the calligraphy! Check my gallery.
