關公

Guan Gong Warrior Saint

This wall scroll is designed to have a classic look (like an antique).

It should be noted that this is a print on handmade paper.

The use of the giclee printing process for this artwork keeps the price of the artwork affordable (it would be more than 3 times more if this was hand-painted).

This warrior's name is 關公 or Guan Gong (This is his honor title, like "Sir Guan"). He was born with the name Guan Yu, but he earned the name "Gong" which is used to refer to a most respected person (You could also translate "Gong" as "Duke" or "Sir" in old English).

Much as Confucius is seen in China as the Saint of Philosophy, Guan Gong is known as the Saint of War.

He is known for not only for his status as a great warrior, but also being full of wisdom and knowledge.

He is the essence of what Chinese people call 勇 or "yong" which means brave, courageous, and not afraid of difficulty.
