🐍 Wishing You a Happy Year of the Snake! 🐍
To celebrate the Lunar New Year, UMAG will be closed from 1 pm on 28th January to 31st January 2025. We look forward to welcoming you back on 1st February 2025!
Wait, what do these two ladies have to do with the Year of the Snake? 🤔
The artwork featured here is a scene from “Taking a Boat Trip on the West Lake”. This depiction from The Legend of the White Snake shows Xu Xian enjoying a boat ride on West Lake. The lake is suggested by delicate blue brushstrokes on a mirrored surface, vegetation along the shore, and blooming lotus flowers surrounding the boat. Xu Xian, holding an umbrella to shield himself from the rain, is watched closely by the White Snake and her companion, the Green Snake. As the legend goes, this fateful encounter began when Xu Xian lent his umbrella to the White Snake.
🎨 Artwork featured:
“Taking a Boat Trip on the West Lake”, Northern China, likely Hebei Province, circa 1930, HKU.P.2022.2580, Gift of Haitang Mayer-Liem and Rupprecht Mayer
🐍 祝您蛇年大吉! 🐍
為慶祝農曆新年,香港大學美術博物館於 2025年1月28日下午1時起至1月31日休館。我們將於 2025年2月1日 再次歡迎大家蒞臨!
等等,這兩位女士和蛇年有什麼關係呢?🤔
畫面的二位女士來自《遊西湖》一作品,這是《白蛇傳》中的經典場景。畫師在鏡面上僅以寥寥數筆勾描出淺藍色波紋、湖畔植物以及遊船左右兩側盛放的四朵蓮花來描述湖面。許仙在西湖上划船遊玩,撐著傘擋雨,而白蛇與青蛇則在一旁對他投以好奇的目光;傳說中,他們的初次邂逅便是從許仙將雨傘借給白蛇開始。
🎨 圖中作品:
《遊西湖》,中國河北省(傳),約1930年,HKU.P.2022.2580,梅儒佩與林海棠惠贈
