Ranging in date from the Northern Song (960-1127) through the Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, later Chinese bronzes constitute one of the most intriguing, yet least studied aspects of Chinese art, in part due to difficulties associated with connoisseurship and dating. However, recent art-historical research and scientific analyses have allowed for better understanding of the stylistic, functional, and technical development of bronze-making during the final millennium of China's long imperial history. Later Chinese bronzes have finally emerged from the shadow of their ancient counterparts and may be appreciated as valuable works of art in their own right. This volume, one of the very few in English to treat this fascinating subject in a comprehensive way.
