A Chinese landscape painting is not complete until it is mounted. For Riverbank at Sunset, the mounting is the frame that holds the soul of the work. SinoInArt rejects machine-mounting in favor of traditional manual mounting, a process that involves dozens of steps and weeks of drying time to ensure perfection.
Manual mounting allows the artwork to "breathe." Because we use natural adhesives and traditional techniques, our scrolls can be rolled and unrolled for decades without cracking or peeling. This flexibility is vital for collectors who wish to rotate their displays or store their art safely.
The aesthetic choice of the mounting is equally important. We select silk borders that complement the muted, sunset tones of Dong Yuan’s palette. This creates a harmonious visual transition from the wall to the artwork, focusing the viewer’s attention on the magnificent Jiangnan landscape.
Every SinoInArt replica features customized Xuan paper as its core, but it is the mounting that provides the final touch of elegance. The wooden rollers are weighted perfectly to ensure the scroll hangs with a natural grace, creating a focal point of tranquility in any space.
By choosing a traditionally mounted replica, you are supporting a dying craft. SinoInArt is committed to keeping these ancient mounting skills alive, ensuring that Dong Yuan’s Riverbank at Sunset can be enjoyed exactly as it was intended a thousand years ago.
