- Description:
Lang Shining (1688-1766 AD), Italian. At the age of 19, he joined the Catholic Jesuit Church as a monk. He studied oil painting and architecture. He came to China to preach at the age of 27 and served the imperial court with pictures. He served in the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties. The painting method refers to the Chinese and Western paintings. He is good at painting people, flowers and birds, especially dogs and horses. Draw a peach tree, stretching out from the cliff, with flowers, leaves and fruits. As expected, I want to climb the tree. I seem to have thought about it. I look puzzled. I can see things deeply and vividly. The site is Annam, a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. In the 26th year of Qianlong’s reign (1761), King Annam was newly established. It was years since Qianlong’s reign that he had entered the world of rare animals and birds. Qianlong once wrote a poem written by the emperor to describe this matter, which is the same as the poem in the painting. Lang Shining was seventy-three years old.
