PUBLICATION
Qing Encounters: Artistic Exchanges between China and the West
Edited by Petra ten-Doesschate Chu and Ning Ding
The contact between China and Europe in the 18th and early 19th centuries transformed the arts in the East and the West. The essays in this volume reveal the extent to which images, artifacts, and natural specimens were traded and copied, as well as how these materials affected both cultures. By considering this reciprocity from both Eastern and Western perspectives, this title offers a new understanding of this critical period.
