Plate 117. Garden Chairs
1754
Etched and published by Matthew Darly

Plate 117 of ‘A New Book of Chinese Designs’, consisting of a title page, index, and 120 plates, etched and published in 1754 by the British caricaturist, printseller and ornamental engraver Matthew Darly, in collaboration with George Edwards. The book consists of a variety of ornamental and costume designs of Chinese inspiration, some of them copies of the original works (including the title).

This plate consists of two designs for garden chairs, made up of interlacing branches of wood that form the back and legs of the chairs. The seats are made up of thin cushions: one, of circular shape, with a pattern of scrolling motifs; the other, of squared shape, with a pattern of quatrefoils and pearls.

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 752

1894
Attributed to Jang Seung-eop (pen name: Owon) Korean

In the nineteenth century, still-life paintings of precious vessels with flowering plants and/or fruits emerged as a distinct and popular genre (Korean: gimyeong jeoljido). The bronzes in this screen are more stylized or exaggerated versions of late Qing-period (1644–1911) Chinese examples, which were known in Korea from imported collectibles or their representation in Chinese paintings, prints, or lithographs.

The left-most panel bears the signature and seal of Jang Seung-eop, the leading court artist of the time. Since students and others signed for the illiterate master, some works attributed to Jang may in fact be collaborations or by his immediate followers. Regardless of authorship, this work is a rare and fine example of turn-of-the-twentieth-century still-life painting in the screen format.

Two inscriptions on the back of the right-most panel offer notable provenance for this screen. The first inscription states: “1964 July 9th gifted to United States Ambassador Samuel D. Berger, [from] Park Chung-hee, President of the Republic of Korea [Daehan minguk].” Ambassador Berger retired from a distinguished career in the Foreign Service in 1974. The second inscription reads: “Divine work by Jang Owon, signed by Guryongsanin [pen name of Kim Yongjin (1878–1968), calligrapher and painter].”
