The
Glorious Traditions of Chinese Bronzes
Bronzes constitute a major chapter in the glorious traditions
of ancient Chinese art. They were among the earliest types of
objects collected by the Chinese literati in their pursuit of
antiquity. It is in these vessels that learned scholars found
confirmation of the importance of the Zhou rituals, the basis
of Confucianist values; from the inscriptions on the bronzes they
built up a body of etymological knowledge. This catalogue features
the fine bronzes from Anthony Hardy’s Sze Yuan Tang collection
as well as the personal collections of Anthony & Susan Hardy.
Published in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name at
