More about this artwork

We are delighted to present to you a stunning piece from our collection, titled "Examples of Chinese ornament, Pl.50" from 1867, designed by the notable Victorian architect and decorative artist Owen Jones. This exquisite piece is a part of his larger work, "The Grammar of Chinese Ornament", which aimed to present to the Western audience the richness and elegance of Chinese decorative arts.In this specific painting, one can observe a captivating composition of symmetrical and flowing designs encompassing vibrant and finely detailed peonies, delicately intertwined with whimsical representations of colorful phoenix-like creatures. The background is adorned with a dense and intricate pattern of swirling cloud motifs, rendered in a golden hue that beautifully complements the pinks and blues of the flowers and mythical birds.The artwork is a testament to Owen Jones' commitment to studying and bringing forward the principles of design from different cultures, which he believed to be universal. This visual symphony of color and form not only encapsulates the essence of Chinese artistic traditions but also reflects Jones' skillful adaptation and interpretation that resonated with the Victorian aesthetic sensibilities.
