EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in Chinese history - a grand banquet hosted by the illustrious Qianlong Emperor at the Chengde Mountain Resort. The year was 1754, and this opulent gathering continued into 1755, leaving an indelible mark on the annals of the Qing Dynasty. The painting, executed with exquisite detail and finesse by Giuseppe Castiglione (1688-1766), showcases his mastery of watercolour on parchment. Every brushstroke brings to life the vibrant colors and intricate patterns adorning the majestic hall where this lavish feast took place. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary display of power and prestige. The Qianlong Emperor is depicted at the center of attention, radiating authority and grace as he presides over his distinguished guests. The Chengde Mountain Resort serves as a breathtaking backdrop for this imperial celebration. Its serene beauty harmonizes with the splendor unfolding within its walls, creating an atmosphere that is both awe-inspiring and enchanting. Now housed in the Collection of Chengde Mountain Resort Museum, this masterpiece offers us a glimpse into China's rich cultural heritage. It stands as a testament to not only artistic brilliance but also historical significance – reminding us of an era when emperors reigned supreme and their legacies were immortalized through art.
