Artist's Comments

I've brief illustrated for cover The Four Beauties or Four Great Beauties. I don't created 4 characters, I recived the pictures from Publisher.
I re-master painting from chinese artists.
I used to chinese watercolour on paper.

According to legend the Four Great Beauties are the most beautiful women of ancient China. They gained their reputation from the influence they exercised over the kings and emperors and consequently, the way their actions impacted Chinese history. Three of the Four Great Beauties brought kingdoms to their knees, and the lives of all four ended in tragic or under mysterious circumstances.

The Four Great Beauties lived in four different dynasties, each hundreds of years apart. In chronological order, they are
1. Xi Shi She was the most women beautyful of Chinese history.
2. Wang Jaojun was the second beautiful Lady Chinese History.
3. Diao Chan was no historical accounts mention a person but she is true beauty of Chinese Fiction.
Many people are know she is most beauty on The Romance of the Three Kingdoms or Dynasty Warriors.
4. Yang Guifei Tang Dynasty said to have a face that puts all flowers to shame.
