A FINE CARVED GREEN AND RUSSET JADE BOULDER WITH A QIANLONG POEM - China, 18th ct. - Light green jade with rust tint. The fine jade mountain shows an extensive temple complex amidst picturesque mountain scenery with dramatic rock overhangs and ancient pines, sea waves roll against the cliffs in the left foreground, a wanderer ascends from the pavilion in the lower center to one higher up on the right. further to the right. In the center of the picture is a cave, and at the top left, halfway up the mountain, is a pagoda. The artist made very clever use of the color characteristics of the beautiful, large but flat stone, and still achieved a strong spatial effect by continuing the landscape around the side edges. On the reverse side, another temple nestles against the rock above a ravine, and a cedar forest stands on the hill opposite. Finely engraved and gold-filled Qianlong poem and two seals Qian and Long. The poem titled "Huijiu Temple" was written on 23.3.1762 (the 27th year of the Qianlong period) by Emperor Qianlong when he visited Baohua Mountain in Jiangsu Province for the third time during one of his six southern tours. The poem describes the landscape of Baohua Mountain. Wood stand. - Important Austrian private collection, according to records acquired at Lempertz in Cologne in the 1970s or 1980s by repute Publ. Zeileis, "Selected Jades from Seven Millennia," 1994, no. 351, pp. 448-449 The depicted Huiju Temple on Baohua Mountain was built in 502 AD and was named Longchang Temple in 1605 in the 33rd year of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. The Kangxi Emperor renamed it "Huiju Temple" in 1703. The temple is one of the most famous Buddhist temples of the Lü School ("School of Conduct"). Jade carvings depicting figures in lifelike settings and carved out round with elaborate detail were particularly popular with the Qianlong emperor, who was an avid collector of jade objects. All jade pieces in his collection were carefully selected or commissioned by him, and only those of special significance were inscribed with his inscription or appreciation. Such carvings were kept in the palace for him to admire and appreciate. Carved jade rocks of this type are found in various sizes and represent idealized miniature landscapes to which the scholar and collector could retreat. A comparable jade mountain block is illustrated by R. Kleiner in Chinese Jades from the Collection of Alan and Simone Hartman, Hong Kong, 1996, p. 160, pl. 127, where the author mentions that these rocks "complemented the miniature gardens and trees created by most scholars." The inclusion of the imperial poem serves to combine text and image to enhance the overall monumentality of the boulder. Compare also a series of jade boulders in the Palace Museum in Beijing, some with imperial poems, illustrated in Zhongguo Yuqi Quanji, 1991, vol. 6, pl. 252-256 Very few tiny chips, good condition
