The Louvre calls this a “Little Unicorn” and I just find that charming as hell. 

[ID: A deep relief sculpture of an arched gateway or nave, in which a unicorn is sitting; the unicorn has a large twisty horn, a little beard, a smile on its face, and cloven hooves. In front of it is a coat of arms, a diamond in four segments, each segment holding a number of fleur-de-lis designs.]

Transi de René de Chalon by Ligier Richier

This transi has become one of my ‘milestone subjects,’ I tend to take a stab at it after a year or so has passed and usually find myself pleased with the progress I’m making as an artist. I also appreciate the fact it’s helping me figure out which brush settings in procreate work with me rather than against me.

LOOK AT THIS DUDE

The main content I want to draw is the dualism of soul and spirit in the context of the early Tang Dynasty. In the early Tang Dynasty, Buddhism has become more popular, but the dualism of "the soul returns to the wilderness and the vigor returns to the underworld" from the Spring and Autumn Period is still prevalent in the tombs.

The main manifestation is that the tomb passage is from the inside to the outside, followed by the inner house and the gods.The spirit of the tomb owner resides in the inner house, while the soul is guided by the frescoes on both sides of the tomb passage all the way out to the sky 😋

(The figures and architecture inside are mainly based on the murals of Prince Yide and Princess Yongtai.

（（I haven't said that my current direction of study is not practical art, but art history and art management. I am in love with the subject of early Chinese painting, and it may become my future research direction.

Whatever….this is my first attempt at animation, although it's less than half a minute, but I actually drew 122 frames, soooo tired😇😇😇hope you enjoy it 😉

Pair of Owl-Shaped Jars

China, Henan province, Western Han dynasty, 206 BCE-9 CE

Amber brown-glazed low-fired pottery

19 x 13.8 x 11.8 cm (7 1/2 x 5 7/16 x 4 5/8 in.)

“Pottery vessels in the shape of owls were made since Neolithic times and throughout the Bronze Age. These jars in the form of vigilant owls may have provided a tomb occupant with grain in the afterlife. However, the meaning of these mysterious birds and the association of the owl motif with burial sites in China is not fully understood.”
