The Painting of Celestial Mountain Pavilion with Kesi

[Picture of Kesi Xianshan Pavilion]

Picture of Kesi Xianshan Pavilion, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, 29 centimeters vertically and 28 centimeters horizontally
This picture shows the tapestry of Xianshan Pavilion on the natural ground. Between the halls and pavilions, there are lush trees, small bridges and flowing water. On the other side, there are mountains and pavilions in the mountains in the distance. The layout of the screen is dense, and the realm is quiet and distant
This work organically integrates tapestry and painting, weaving tapestry before adding color. The tapestry workers mainly use flat tapestry to weave the outline of the object image, using overlapping tapestry and long and short tapestry techniques, and then using various colors to draw the image. The pavilion buildings in the painting are painted with a boundary ruler, and the mountain stone texturing method uses ink, stone green, and ochre colors, very similar to the style of Qiu Ying’s pavilion painting
In this tapestry painting, the pavilions are finely crafted, with lush mountains and trees, and their colors are ancient and elegant.
