Searching for art...
I'm searching for a decent reproduction of the original, 12th century Chinese painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". I have thoughts of mounting and framing it for display in my house.
In the Wikipedia article linked to above, one can find a full, beautiful, 7MB image of an 18th century copy of the original, but that's not what I'm after.
18th century copy:
The original is less colorful than the copy, but my wife and I like the detail line work better.
In the Wikimedia commons, I've found several separate images of some large bits of the painting such as the one above, but not enough to composite into a full copy of the original. You can see them (I think this is where Wikimedia got them) here.
I don't mind paying for it, but I've found very little out there... There are a few ebay entries, the best of them appearing to be a folding book representation 13 feet long. That one has possibilities... but the text suggests to me that it may be missing some of the panels from the original, so I hesitate...
Anyone have any ideas where one might find such a thing?
Thanks!
