In the world of Chinese art reproduction, the foundation is the paper. For Zhao Mengfu’s Herding Horses, standard commercial paper simply cannot capture the nuance of the ink. SinoInArt uses custom Xuan paper, developed specifically to replicate the unique characteristics of 14th-century scrolls.

This specialized Xuan paper provides the perfect surface for our high-definition printing. It allows the mineral pigments to sit on the surface with a "moist" quality, just as they would on a hand-painted work. The result is a 1:1 reproduction where the colors are vibrant and the black ink has a profound depth, indistinguishable from the original.

The tactile quality of the paper is another dimension of the experience. As you unroll the scroll, the organic fiber of the custom Xuan paper provides a soft, matte finish that doesn't reflect harsh light. This allows you to appreciate the Gongbi line work and the subtle shading of the horses' muscles without distraction.

Furthermore, our paper is archival-grade, meaning it is acid-free and resistant to aging. This ensures that the "Herding Horses" will remain a vibrant part of your collection for a lifetime. It is this dedication to the materiality of art that makes SinoInArt a leader in the field.

By choosing SinoInArt, you are investing in a process that respects the originality of the medium. Our custom Xuan paper is the bridge between the Yuan Dynasty and the present day, bringing Zhao Mengfu’s vision to life with unprecedented fidelity.
