Arts of the Tang Court

by Patricia Eichenbaum Karetzky

The Tang dynasty (AD 618-907) is known as China's golden age, celebrated for its enlightened government, openness to outside influences, and varied and magnificent works of art. This beautifully-illustrated book brings together in one volume the dynasty's most important artistic
accomplishments. A sketch of the era's political and social history is followed by chapters illustrating the development of ceramics, the production of gold and silver, Tang painting and sculpture, and religious and funerary art.
