A time capsule in color and line: Painting in China's Han Dynasty

The Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220) witnessed a rapid flourishing of Chinese painting. Narrative scenes grew increasingly sophisticated, and motifs became more varied and expressive. Vivid depictions of everyday life offer historians a rare window into the customs and rhythms of the age. These works are among the finest surviving examples of the genre, ranging from silk paintings to tomb frescoes.
