More about this artwork

This striking piece, "Examples of Chinese Ornament, Pl.20" by Owen Jones, embodies the exquisite intricacy and elegance of Chinese design traditions. Created in 1867, this artwork emphasizes the depth of beauty found in natural floral motifs—a recurrent theme across various Chinese artworks. The painting features bold, symmetrical compositions of swirling foliage and ornate flowers primarily using shades of blue and white. These colors not only radiate a serene but dramatic visual impact; they also characteristic of the classic Chinese porcelain that was highly admired and emulated in the West during that time.Jones showcases an impressive grip on the principles of Chinese ornamentation by establishing a rhythmic pattern that feels both energetic and harmonious. The detailed borders that encapsulate the central design further accentuate the methodical precision and artistic thought invested in this illustration.
