"Russet: A Journey Through Time and Culture" Step into the world of russet, a color that evokes warmth, history, and cultural richness. From the rustic charm of a public house adorned with ceramics (DP275597) to the intricate details of a corrugated roof (DP236122), every element tells a story. Travel to Burano, Venice in Italy and discover the allure of an old door with green shutters. The faded paint whispers tales of centuries gone by. In Riquewihr, Alsace, France, encounter a classic VW that stands as a testament to timeless design and nostalgia (DDE-90021128). Delve further into history with ancient artifacts like the conical bowl from the Northern Song dynasty (960-1127). Crafted by unknown hands in the 11th century, it showcases exquisite craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. Marvel at another masterpiece - a bowl adorned with flared rim and partridge-feather mottles from late 11th/12th century. Its delicate patterns reflect an era when artistry knew no bounds. A small wide-mouthed jar from either Northern Song or Jin dynasty takes us back even further in time. Its simplicity speaks volumes about ancient aesthetics and functional beauty. Witness nature's influence on art through the persimmon bowl from Northern Song dynasty. Created by an unknown artist during the 11th/12th century, its vibrant hues capture autumn's essence. The shallow lobed bowl from Northern Song or Jin dynasty transports us to c. 12th century China where elegance met practicality seamlessly. In contrast to these historical treasures is "Still Life with Flowers and Fruit, " an oil painting dating back to around 1715. It immortalizes nature's bounty while showcasing artistic talent through vivid colors and meticulous brushstrokes. Finally, turn your attention towards New Zealand as you gaze upon "Portrait of a Maori" drawn with red chalk between 1768-75.
