A leading horse painter of the Tang dynasty, Han Gan was known for capturing not only the likeness of a horse but also its spirit. This painting, the most famous work attributed to(归属于) the artist, is a portrait of a charger(战马) of Emperor Xuanzong (r. 712–56). With its burning eye, flaring nostrils, and dancing hoofs, the fiery-tempered horse epitomizes (成为…的典范)Chinese myths about Central Asian "celestial steeds"(天马) that "sweated blood"(血汗) and were actually dragons in disguise(伪装). The seals and inscriptions(题词) added to the painting and its borders by later owners and appreciators are a distinctive feature of Chinese collecting and connoisseurship(鉴赏). The addition of more than one thousand years of seals and comments offers a vivid testimony(证据) of the work's transmission(传播) and its impact on later generations.
What a magnificent horse! Even after more than a thousand years have passed, we can still feel the power within its burning eyes, bared
teeth and kicking hooves. Night-Shining White, now kept in New York’s
Metropolitan Museum of Art, is regarded as one of the most
significant horse paintings in the history of Chinese art. Its artist, Han Gan, is known for his skill in capturing not only the physical features of
the animal, but also its inner spirit and strength.

The Tang emperors were very fond of horses. This meant that the animal was a frequent subject for artists. At that time, the most common way to study horse painting was by copying the works of previous painters. Han Gan’s method, however, was different - he observed the animal itself. He was a frequent visitor to the royal stables and even moved in to live with the stable workers for quite some time. The horses, whether resting or on the move, offered him
plenty of inspiration. The more time he spent observing these animals, the more his understanding of them grew. Day after day, Han Gan painted the horses, his brush presenting every detail that he saw with his own eyes.

It is said that when the Emperor asked Han Gan to take a master of horse painting as his teacher, the artist replied, “I have my own teachers, Your Majesty. All the horses in your stables are my very teachers.”
Those who saw Han Gan’s horse paintings all sang high praises for
his unique skill, saying that his horses “could gallop off the paper”. Even Su Shi, the famous poet of the Song Dynasty, expressed his admiration for Han Gan as a master of horse painting with the words, “The horses painted by Han Gan are real horses.”
