Qianlong, Master of Nets: Lunar New Year in the Qing Palace
Join us for a journey into the heart of the Qing Dynasty’s imperial court with our upcoming webinar, featuring Dr. Daniel M. Greenberg. Our session will focus on the remarkable artwork “All Foreign Countries Bearing Tribute” (萬國來朝圖), a representation of the Lunar New Year created for the Qianlong court. Dr. Greenberg will guide us through the original context of this masterpiece, highlighting its unique blend of Chinese classical painting and European ethnography. This exploration will reveal a distinctly Chinese perspective on state ritual and the management of foreign affairs, offering a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and political dynamics of the Qing Dynasty.
