Ten Horses Depiction, Thunderclap

Item

Title (Dublin Core): Ten Horses Depiction, Thunderclap
Description (Dublin Core): Lang Shih-ning is the Chinese name of Giuseppe Castiglione, an Italian Jesuit novitiate. In 1715, he arrived in China, where his training in art came to the attention of the court. He served as a painter under the K’ang-hsi, Yung-cheng, and Ch’ien-lung emperors. He excelled at painting figures, birds and flowers, and especially dogs and horses. Castiglione was ordered by the court to paint from life fine steeds sent from the western regions as tribute. Collectively known as “The Ten Steeds”, these large works are almost life-size renderings. He added Western painting techniques of shadow and perspective to Chinese traditional methods to create colorful yet realistic portrayals. This work is a portrait of the steeds known as Thunderclap.
