Cloudy Wine Table of The Spring and Autumn Period

Another attribute of the antique bar: a bronze wine table Jin (禁).

The name of this piece of furniture involves social advertising.  Jin means “forbidden”. The name is aimed at potential consumers, encouraging them to be moderate in drinking.

It was believed that the Shang and Xia dynasties fell into decline due to alcohol abuse. The term itself has been in use since the Zhou Dynasty, when the first Dry Law was proclaimed. Wine was allowed only in rituals, in other cases, drinking it entailed the death penalty. For the same reason, it could be assumed that the table also had a religious purpose.

The wine table belonged to the Grand Chancellor Zi Geng during the reign of King Kang of Chu (楚康王).

It was manufactured with a lost-wax casting, a technology that is more often used in jewelry. The wine table rests on twelve dragons that serve as its legs. Twelve more surround it, trying to climb onto the tabletop from all sides.

Sophisticated clouds are not just for decoration. It is an allegory of the primordial forces, accumulated between Heaven and Earth, in action. The very pictograph for Qi, invented just in the Spring and Autumn period, refers to the clouds.

Finely crafted, the table was unearthed in fragments. It was a feat on the part of the restorers to bring it together. Rebuilding under the guidance of the bronze ware expert Wang Changqing took more than two years.

On display in Henan Museum (河南博物院).

Maria Luisa of Parma (1751–1819), Later Queen of Spain

Artist: Laurent Pécheux (French, 1729–1821)

Date: 1765

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: The Met, New York City, NY, United States

DESCRIPTION

This portrait of Maria Luisa of Parma, granddaughter of both King Louis XV of France and Philip V of Spain, was sent to Madrid in advance of her marriage to her first cousin, the future Carlos IV of Spain. It is exemplary of formal eighteenth-century court portraits. Painted in Italy for Spanish eyes, it teems with French decorative arts, evidence of Parisian craftsmen’s international preeminence in the period. The bronze clock case is supported by an exoticized elephant, the gold snuffbox is fitted with a miniature portrait of Maria Luisa’s future husband, and the impressive chair comes from a suite of furniture commissioned in Paris by her mother a decade prior.

I just finished up painting these two Egyptian soldiers! The one on the left (orange) was done by hand traditionally, whereas the other one was done using Army Painter Speed Paints.

Which is your favorite? Let me know!

Overall, I liked how the Speed Paints (SP) did. However, didn't get the color gradation quite right when dry brushing the mini before painting it. Next time, I'll be more generous with my grey mid tone!

Practice is Practice. I now know how SP works and am ready to try again with a different mini.

I recorded all my work and will post a video on YouTube in the nearby future. Stay tuned!

Character/s: Gov

Favorite Lyrics:

Make me bleed if you need to confirm that it's something I can do

And I'll paint it red

If you're still unsure, let me lie for a day

Before they formally announce me dead

When I'm gone, cast the bronze for the bust of my head

To be displayed in the library

Engrave that I gave my consent

To be anything that anyone prefer I be

Why I Chose This Song:

The first time I heard this song I immediately thought of Gov. My interpretation of the lyrics is that’s it’s about someone who feels pressured to fit into a predetermined box and fill a certain role that’s expected of them at any cost, even at the expense of their own life. Gov fits that theme perfectly, I think.

A series of portraits lends a venerable aura to the Dining Area. Appointments include a 19th-century harvest table and early-20th-century chairs. An Art Nouveau figure in the corner, a Chiparus dancer on the table and a bronze Diana by Falguiere add expressive animation.

Going to a store in the middle of the night to purchase candies and one (1) alcoholic beverage (neither old enough to legally do so). They make the cashier's day and get grounded by Kai when they get home.
