EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient Chinese mythological figures, Fuxi and Nuwa, found in the tombs of Astana Cemetery in Turfan. Painted on silk by an unknown Chinese artist during the 7th century, this artwork is now housed at the National Museum in Seoul, Korea. Fuxi and Nuwa are revered as the creators of the world according to Chinese mythology. In this depiction, each divine being holds a symbolic tool; Fuxi grasps a compass while Nuwa wields an angle. The intertwined serpents that surround them symbolize their connection to nature and wildlife. The image portrays these twin deities embracing one another amidst a backdrop of intricate architectural designs. As architects of creation itself, they embody both human and reptilian features, representing a hybrid existence between gods and animals. The vibrant colors used in this painted silk bring life to Fuxi and Nuwa's story. Their presence exudes power and wisdom as they stand together as divine beings responsible for shaping our world. Leonard de Selva expertly captures every detail with his photography skills, allowing us to appreciate this historical masterpiece even from afar. This print serves as a reminder of China's rich mythological heritage and its enduring artistic legacy that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
