안다미로귀때박물관 기획전시 '명화와 티타임(Teatime) : 빛과 색채로 마시는 차 한 잔의 여유'
Info only · no booking hereAbout
The Andamiro Gwi-Ttae Museum (안다미로귀때박물관) introduces the gleaming teapots and teacups captured within famous paintings, along with the warm breath of life they hold. In the late 15th century, the sea routes of the Age of Exploration, undertaken in search of spices, became a passage that carried not only the mysterious tea leaves of the East but also the refined aesthetics of the ceramics that held them, into Europe. Painters of that era began to render the vibrant warmth flowing within a cozy teacup and the joyful moments of teatime onto canvas in dazzling colors. This exhibition goes beyond the scenery of the canvas, offering a special experience of coming face-to-face with the actual teapots and teacups held by the protagonists in the paintings. From the mysterious warmth conveyed by William McGregor Paxton's "Tea Leaves" to the splendid silver teapot appearing in Mary Cassatt's "The Tea," we hope you will encounter, with vivid immediacy, the leisure of a cup of tea as felt by the figures in these masterpieces.
