In the Forbidden City and other palaces around Beijing, Emperor Qianlong (r. 1736-1795) surrounded himself with monumental paintings of architecture, gardens, people, and faraway places. The best artists of the imperial painting academy, including a number of European missionary painters, used Western perspectival illusionism to transform walls and ceilings with visually striking images that were also deeply meaningful to Qianlong. These unprecedented works not only offer new insights into late imperial China�s most influential emperor, but also reflect one way in which Chinese art integrated and domesticated foreign ideas. In Imperial Illusions, Kristina Kleutghen examines all known surviving examples of the Qing court phenomenon of �scenic illusion paintings� (tongjinghua), which today remain inaccessible inside the Forbidden City. Produced at the height of early modern cultural exchange between China and Europe, these works have received little scholarly attention. Richly illustrated, Imperial Illusions offers the first comprehensive investigation of the aesthetic, cultural, perceptual, and political importance of these illusionistic paintings essential to Qianlong�s world.

This book, a collection of ancient Chinese cultural relics, deals with relics from Qing Dynasty, 1644 to 1911. There are two volumes dealing with relics in this period. This book contains 377 relics. The ancestors of the people who established the Manchu Qing Dynasty lived in northeast China in the territory lying between the 'white mountains and the black rivers'. After establishing their capital in Beijing. the Qing Dynasty defeated all the forces that opposed them and they quickly consolidated their frontier defences. in the nearly 300 years of the Qing Dynasty, China achieved some remarkable things especially in the fields of culture and art even though it lagged behind in many other respects in global terms. Jade ware reached a great peak in the mid Qing Dynasty and surpassed previous achievement in size, selection of materials and overall craftsmanship. Porcelain production reached its highest ever peak in this era. Jingdezhen remained the centre for production of porcelain. The period also saw the revival in the history of Chinese calligraphy. Stone inscriptions grew in popularity and a number of pioneer masters emerged and exerted a far-reaching influence. Seal character calligraphy and li calligraphy (official script) were revised again. Literati painting played a dominant role and landscape painting and impressionistic ink and wash painting were prevalent Laquer craftwork in all shapes and sizes reached a great deal level of maturity. Existing techniques were improved and others developed. Embroidery reached unprecedented heights. Silk tapestries became more and more exquisite and the production of metal bodied enamelware reached a great peak. Bamboo wood and horn carvings also were developed. Jade objects went through three stages of development. 1. Frugal period, with jade production was small and made by ordinary craftsmen and lack originality. 2. Due to a growing Qing comic strength. and a plentiful supply of jade materials the jade industry began to flourish, and became one of the high points in jade carving in China. 3. Late period of the Qing Dynasty and due to increasing corruption in society and large number of difficulties, both domestic and external, there was less appetite for large scale pieces of jade in part also due to the high cost of production. This book, the ninth in a ten-volume collection, brings to the English-speaking world a series of books from China which has been complied by an Expert Committee of the Chinese Society of Cultural Relics. There are 377 descriptions.

"Wang Hui, the most celebrated painter of late-seventeenth-century China, played a key role both in reinvigorating past traditions of landscape painting and in establishing the stylistic foundations for the imperially sponsored art of the Qing court. Drawing upon his protean talent and immense ambition, Wang developed an all-embracing synthesis of historical landscape styles that constituted one of the greatest artistic innovations of late imperial China." "This comprehensive study of the painter, the first published in English, features three essays that together consider his life and career, his artistic achievements, and his masterwork - the series of twelve monumental scrolls depicting the Kangxi emperor's Southern Inspection Tour of 1689. The first essay, by Wen C. Fong, closely examines Wang Hui's genius for "repossessing the past," his ability to engage in an inventive dialogue with previous masters and to absorb their stylistic personae while making works that were distinctly his own. Chin-Sung Chang next traces the entire trajectory of Wang's development as an artist, from his precocious youth in the village of Yushan, through growing local and national fame - first as a copyist, then as the creator of groundbreaking panoramic landscapes - to the ultimate confirmation of his stature with the commission to direct the Southern Inspection Tour project. Focusing on this extraordinary eight-year-long effort, Maxwell K. Hearn's essay discusses the contemporary sources for the scrolls, the working methods of Wang and his assistants (comparing drafts with finished versions), and the artistic innovations reflected in these imposing works, the extant examples of which measure more than two feet high and from forty-six to eighty-six feet long." "This publication accompanies the exhibition "Landscapes Clear and Radiant: The Art of Wang Hui (1632-1717)," held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from September 9, 2008, through January 4, 2009."--BOOK JACKET.
