| Eight Panel Hunting Screen for display in a military officers' conference room or an officer's home. In spite of the Mongols' brutal occupation of Korea in the 13th Century, Koreans maintained great admiration for Mongolian hunting and equestrian skills, as shown by this Korean screen of Mongolians hunting tigers and leopards. Even the landscape of this screen, with its barren plains, desolate sandy hills and distant mountains, is the landscape of Mongolia. Korean hunting screens differ from other Korean screens in that, rather than a separate scene on each panel, it is a continuous composition sweeping across all eight panels. It is rare to see a Korean Hunting Screen offered for sale, and this one is a fine example. These old paintings have been remounted on beautiful and artfully designed new silk screens. We use one specific talented artisan in Korea to do this work, so as to maintain cultural authenticity and integrity. 63.75 x 171 inches (over 14 feet), 162 x 434 cm. | ||
