Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Woodcarving of ancient masterpiece debuts in North China
Along the River During the Qingming Festival is a painting by Zhang Zeduan in early 12th century, during the Song Dynasty. The paint depicts the daily life of people, the festive spirit, and the landscape of then capital, Bianjing. It is considered one of the greatest painted artworks in China’s long history.
Now, China’s quest for supremacy doesn’t seem to be limited in military or economy. They’ve created a carved wood version of this prominent painting that reaches 18 meters tall and weighs 12 tons. It took 35 artists and craftsmen for five years to complete this magnificent work.
Enjoy seeing the photos of this gigantic yet detailed wood carved version of the famous artwork.
