"In the Forbidden City and other palaces around Beijing, Emperor Qianlong (r. 1736-1795)
surrounded himself with monumental paintings of architecture, gardens, people, and
faraway places. The best artists of the imperial painting academy, including a number
of European missionary painters, used Western perspectival illusionism to transform
walls and ceilings with visually striking images that were also deeply meaningful
to Qianlong. These unprecedented works not only offer new insights into late imperial
China's most influential emperor, but also reflect one way in which Chinese art integrated
and domesticated foreign ideas. In Imperial Illusions, Kristina Kleutghen examines
all known surviving examples of the Qing court phenomenon of "scenic illusion paintings"
(tongjinghua), which today remain inaccessible inside the Forbidden City. Produced
at the height of early modern cultural exchange between China and Europe, these works
have received little scholarly attention. Richly illustrated, Imperial Illusions offers
the first comprehensive investigation of the aesthetic, cultural, perceptual, and
political importance of these illusionistic paintings essential to Qianlong's world."--Publisher's
