The four noble knights

The four noble knights are representative paintings of Taoist art. Every Taoist painter makes these four paintings at least once in his life, where you can check his style, the way he understands Taoism, art. The four noble knights are:

• Lan hua, the Chinese orchid, corresponds to spring
  Zhu, the bamboo, which corresponds to summer
  Ju hua, the chrysanthemum, corresponds to autumn
  Mei Hua, the blossoming plum tree, corresponds to winter. The plum tree is an old man, a noble gentleman who teaches goodness, prosperity, strength, plenitude and calm.

Antonio’s most representative paintings of Taoist art remain in the private family collection, this one in particular is one of the few for sale.

It is an artistic work that seeks to simplify a spiritual work, without decorations or any message.
