One gathering slightly protruding in vol. 2. Internally excellent.; Complete with 77 plates; 4to 11" - 13" tall; "One of the key figures in establishing the new aesthetic at the Qing court was the Italian Jesuit Giuseppe Castiglione 1688-1766 whose illusionist approach to painting revolutionized Qing court art. Castiglione served at the Qing court for fifty years working under the Chinese name Lang Shining. A master of vividly naturalistic draftsmanship and large-scale compositions in Italy and Portugal he had worked as a muralist Castiglione successfully combined Western realism with traditional Chinese conventions of brushwork in a manner that suited the imperial taste. Descriptively complex technically finished and monumental in scale Castiglione's vividly realistic painting style perfectly served the emperor's documentary purposes as well as his predilection for self-promotion on a grandiose scale".
