The four gentlemen: Chrysanthemum

This ink painting is an original work by an oriental artist (consult further information about the artist of this painting). In oriental art the Chinese plum, the orchid, bamboo and the chrysanthemum are the four gentlemen in the realm of plants and flowers. The chysanthemum represents "the gentleman of autumn". In this painting chrysanthemums in bloom are seen which are typical plants of Asia. Also, an old poem accompanies the image which describes the nature of this plant: chrysanthemums flower at the end of autumn despite the cold and aridity and its flowers are extremely beautiful. For oriental poets and artists, chrysanthemums symbolise a positive and happy life. Paintings of chrysanthemums can attract peace and happiness. The painting is framed professionally with quality materials, and is delivered perfectly packaged and protected.
