Sancai-glasiertes PferdTang-Dynastie (618-25 x 26 x 9 in.(63,5 x 66,04 x 22,86 cm) glasierte Keramik
Provenienz
Privatsammlung, Washington
Die Tang-Dynastie (618-907 n. Chr.) war eine blühende Epoche, die die Grundlagen der chinesischen Geschichte für die kommenden Jahrhunderte mitprägte. Diese Epoche war von bemerkenswerten technologischen und kulturellen Fortschritten geprägt, darunter Schießpulver und Buchdruck. Zu den künstlerischen Fortschritten dieser Epoche gehörte die Perfektionierung der Sancai-Glasurtechnik, die ein herausragendes Merkmal der Bildhauerei dieser Zeit war. Bei der Sancai-Glasur (Dreifarbenglasur) wurden drei Glasurfarben verwendet: Ocker oder Braun, Grün und Klar. Glasierte Waren waren in der Herstellung wesentlich kostspieliger als andere Terrakottawaren und daher nur den wohlhabendsten Gönnern vorbehalten.

Dieses glasierte Sancai-Pferd wäre ein unglaubliches Statussymbol für seinen Besitzer gewesen, und viele sind im Laufe der Zeit verloren gegangen. Diese Skulptur ist mit Exemplaren vergleichbar, die sich in Museumssammlungen auf der ganzen Welt befinden, darunter auch im Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
