Kangxi (K'ang Hsi) 1662-1722
Named for the art-loving emperor, Kangxi blue and
white was unsurpassed in its purity and perfection. The decoration was
carefully painted in a pure sapphire blue of great depth, and several
shades of blue were used on one piece. Popular themes included Old Ming
favorites, landscapes, and panel decorations. Romantic, historical and
mythological figures were often used, including The Four
Accomplishments (painting, calligraphy, music and chess), the flowers
of the Four Seasons, the Eight Taoist Immortals, and the Eight Horses
of Mu Wang.
