EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Hsi Wang Mu, an enigmatic figure from Chinese mythology. Created in 1922 by an unknown artist and featured in the book "Myths and Legends of China" by E. T. C. Werner, this image captures the essence of one of the most ancient and powerful goddesses in Chinese folklore. Hsi Wang Mu is believed to have once been a wild demon but has since evolved into a revered deity, closely associated with Taoism. The vibrant blue background complements her traditional green costume adorned with decorative robes, symbolizing her divine status. Her majestic presence is further enhanced by the intricate peacock feathers that grace her attire. With wings resembling those of birds, Hsi Wang Mu exudes both grace and power as she gazes serenely at the viewer. This portrait beautifully encapsulates her role as a mother goddess and exemplifies the rich cultural heritage of China. The print's exquisite details transport us back to the Qing Dynasty era, immersing us in a world where myth intertwines with reality. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and religious devotion prevalent during that time period. Preserved through this stunning visual representation, Hsi Wang Mu continues to inspire awe and reverence for her timeless significance within Chinese culture.
