Chinese
The core of VMFA’s Chinese art collection features Shang to Zhou dynasty ritual bronzes and jades, as well as Buddhist sculpture dating from the 6th through the 11th century. Paintings include portraiture, landscape, and genre scenes along with textiles and costumes such as embroidered hangings and imperial robes from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Examples of ceramics, lacquers, furniture, and other decorative objects reveal masterful craftsmanship. Chinese holdings also include a recent acquisition of more than three-hundred scrolls of calligraphy and painting.
