[CHINA — SONG DYNASTY]. — LAUREILLARD (Marie) & SIMONET - Lot 10
[CHINA — SONG DYNASTY]. — LAUREILLARD (Marie) & SIMONET (Jean-Marie). China: The Height of the Song Dynasty. Amiens, Musée de Picardie, 2000. Large quarto, paperback, with a color-illustrated cover; abundant black-and-white and color illustrations throughout the text and as full-page spreads. Catalog of the exhibition held at the Musée de Picardie in Amiens from December 16, 2000, to March 18, 2001, devoted to Chinese art and civilization during the Song Dynasty, with a particular focus on the Southern Song period. The BnF attributes the catalog to Marie Laureillard and Jean-Marie Simonet. A significant exploration of one of the great periods of Chinese civilization, marked by the rise of Hangzhou, the development of Neo-Confucianism, and the vitality of Buddhism and Taoism. The book examines, in particular, painting, ceramics, bronzes, and religious objects, as well as the intellectual, economic, and urban development of Song-era China. Richly illustrated, including paintings and scrolls, Buddhist sculptures, ceramics, celadons, porcelain, and ritual objects. Several works from the Cernuschi Museum were featured in the exhibition, notably paintings attributed to the school of Liang Kai and 13th-century Qingbai funerary porcelains. An interesting publication both as an exhibition catalog and as a documentary work on Chinese art of the 10th–13th centuries. The BnF classifies the work under the subject “Art—China—960–1368 (Song and Yuan Dynasties).” A fine copy. The glossy cover shows some slight scuffing and minor signs of wear, mainly at the corners and edges; the interior is in very fresh condition.
