Night-Shining White - Painting Core
Han Gan captured the fiery spirit of 'Night-Shining White,' a legendary warhorse belonging to Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, around 750 AD. The white steed is tied to a dark post, straining wildly with wide eyes and an open mouth, looking ready to bolt into the night. The painting is famously covered in red collector seals and calligraphy, including notes from Emperor Qianlong, turning the margins into a historical guestbook of ownership that spans over a thousand years.
