EDITORS COMMENTS
"Xi Wangmu, the Queen Mother of the West, is a central figure in Daoist mythology and folklore, revered as the goddess of immortality, fertility, and the harvest. This stunning 18th century woodblock print from Japan depicts Xi Wangmu in regal attire, surrounded by various symbols of her divine power. The print, with touches of vibrant red, showcases intricate details of her clothing and accessories, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of East Asia. Xi Wangmu is often depicted as a beautiful and graceful woman, dressed in elegant robes adorned with precious jewels and ornaments. In this print, she is shown wearing a long, flowing robe with intricate patterns and a wide, ornate headdress. Her hair is styled in elaborate braids, and she holds a fan and a pearl in each hand. The print is believed to have been created in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868), a time when woodblock printing was a popular art form. The intricacy and detail of the print suggest that it was produced with great skill and care, making it a valuable piece of heritage art. Xi Wangmu has been a source of inspiration for artists, writers, and scholars for centuries, and her image has been depicted in various forms of art, including painting, sculpture, and literature. This woodblock print is a testament to the enduring appeal of Xi Wangmu as a symbol of beauty, grace, and divine power." Location: Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)
