Pintura china "Bodhidharma", dinastía Qing, periodo Qianlong

Pigments and gold on silk. It shows the image of Bodhidharma inside a grotto with bare feet on a sea of sinuous and rough waves; dressed in a long robe adorned with diamonds and auspicious characters, which covers his head and body, leaving the chest uncovered. The face, made with great detail, shows an intense expression, with small open eyes, wide nose and tight lips, which together with the arched eyebrows, give tension to the look. It also shows a lush beard and curly hair on which stand out the earrings that adorn the elongated earlobes. The image is surrounded by two rectangular frames, the first one with a succession of ritual elements such as Dharma shells, lotuses or ruyis. The second one shows elongated and fierce dragons flying over a sea of coiled clouds chasing a flaming pearl. In the lower right area, there is a small text written in Manchu language, while on the right it has a six-character mark "乾隆丁酉钦定". Bodhidharma was the last patriarch to introduce the practice of Zen into Chinese culture, preaching the possibility of attaining enlightenment even in everyday life. He is also known as one of the fathers of Kung Fu. Dimensions: 107,5 x 67 cm; Dimensions with frame: 114,5 x 73,5 cm Provenance: - French private collection.
