Chinese School Painting, in the Manner of Giuseppe Castiglione, 19th Century

About the Item

A 19th Century Chinese School Painting, in the manner of Giuseppe Castiglione (also by the name of Lang Shi’ning) Following the larger painting known by the title, “Kazaks presenting horses in tribute”, by Giuseppe Castiglione (Lang Shi’ning). This subtly executed copy of this original 18th Century artwork (1757, last photographs included), is a beautiful rendition of the Kazak people leading their horses in tribute to the seated Chinese Emperor (the original ink and paper on hanging scroll, is currently housed Ink at Réunion des Musées Nationaux). Painted onto canvas, with two decorative top hanging fixings. Giuseppe Castiglione was born in Milan on July 19th of 1688, and studied painting extensively in Genoa and Lisbon, and joined the Jesuits in the early 18th Century before being sent to Macao, China by the European Catholic Church. After travelling to Beijing where his artistic ability impressed the Emperor, Castiglione served as imperial artist to the Emperor, as well as his three successors Kang Xi, Yong Zheng and Qian Long. His work painted in the European style, whilst featuring Chinese themes of portraits and animals, and is hugely renowned for his influence of western techniques on Chinese artistic practice. In 2000, his work “Fields in the Autumn” sold at auction for 17.6 million Hong Kong Dollars (equivalent to around £1.75m). Additional information: Dimensions: Height: 122cm, 48″ Width: 153cm, 60 1/4″
