| Description |
A great variety of birds, including the peacock and peahen, are portrayed in a natural setting. The grandiose scale and presence of this work suggests its original function was for use in interior decoration. It could well be part of a set depicting flowers and birds of the four seasons-this is the spring scene. When used in the imperial context, works of similar type may constitute part of a large composition with the theme of "one hundred birds admiring the phoenix," which provided a metaphor for human society and an idealization of hierarchical order under the imperial rule. The artist Yin Hong was a court painter and was the third generation of a painters' family that served in the Ming imperial court. |
