The body is modelled in soft ink washes on tan paper, the mane bristling along the neck. Dozens of red collectors' seals surround it, with an inscription at upper left and large calligraphy filling the right half of this section of the scroll. Attributed to Han Gan, it portrays a horse from the stables of Emperor Xuanzong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDated to about 750, the painting portrays a horse owned by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang dynasty and may originally have been one of a series of horse portraits made at the emperor's order. It carries no signature; the seals and inscriptions of later owners, among them the Southern Tang ruler Li Yu, the Song critic Mi Fu and the Qianlong Emperor, trace its passage through collections over some 1,200 years. Later viewers read it as an emblem of Chinese military strength and imperial power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: handscroll, ink on paper, c. 750; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHan Gan was a Chinese painter of the Tang dynasty, active in the eighth century, who came from a poor family and was sponsored as a young man by the poet Wang Wei. A pupil of the court painter Cao Ba, he served the Tang court and painted Buddhist and Daoist figures, but is remembered above all for his horses, said to be learned from the imperial stables, and later horse painters studied him. The horse painting Night-Shining White in the Metropolitan Museum of Art has long carried his name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
