Scale is a fundamental part of an artist’s intent. When an artist like Sa Dula created Plum and Sparrows, he chose the dimensions of the scroll to create a specific relationship with the viewer. SinoInArt’s commitment to 1:1 replication ensures that this relationship is preserved.
When you stand before our 1:1 replica, the sparrows are life-sized. This creates an intimacy that is lost in smaller, scaled-down prints. You feel as though you are peering through a window into a Yuan Dynasty garden. The customized Xuan paper enhances this realism by providing the correct visual depth.
The 1:1 scale also allows for a full appreciation of the brushwork. You can see the "spirit" in the large, sweeping movements of the plum trunk and the microscopic precision in the birds' claws. Only at this scale can the technical genius of Sa Dula be fully understood and studied.
Our traditional mounting is also scaled to the original. The width of the silk borders and the length of the "heaven and earth" sections of the scroll are historically accurate. This means the scroll occupies your wall space with the same presence and authority as the original museum piece.
At SinoInArt, we believe that art should not be compromised. By providing 1:1 museum-grade replicas, we allow connoisseurs to experience the true majesty of Sa Dula’s Plum and Sparrows without the barriers of a museum glass case.
