Peacock with Flowers and Fantastic Rocks, 17th century, 53 5/8 x 33 1/2 in. (136.21 x 85.09 cm) (image)66 11/16 x 34 1/4 in. (169.39 x 87 cm) (without roller)68 1/8 x 38 3/4 in. (173.04 x 98.43 cm) (with roller), Ink and color and gold on silk, China, 17th century, With tail feathers spread in full array, a peacock strolls in a garden resplendent with blossoms and bamboo. The contorted and pierced forms of the fantastical blue-green taihu rocks were greatly admired by artist-scholars. The flowers were standard motifs associated with good fortune during both the Ming and Qing dynasties (1300s1800s). The peacock, however, reflects a new layer of meaning brought about by the Manchu conquest of 1644. The new rulers from the north of China presented themselves as protectors of Chinese culture in the face of social and political chaos. They adopted the image of Mahamayuri, the 'Peacock Mother of the Buddha' and 'Protectress of the North' as one of their political emblems.
