EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the East side of the Palace of the Calm of the Sea, located in the enchanting Gardens of Yuan Ming Yuan in Peking. The image, captured by Lang Shining (Castiglione, Giuseppe) in 1783-86 and now part of a private collection, transports viewers to a realm where European influence seamlessly merges with traditional Chinese architecture. The intricate design supervised by Castiglione is evident as one gazes upon this remarkable summer palace that once belonged to Chinese Emperors. Known as the Garden of Perfection and Brightness, it exudes an air of tranquility and grandeur. The terraces and staircase gracefully lead up to a pavilion perched atop a terrace, offering breathtaking views over its surroundings. The fusion between Italianate elements and Chinese aesthetics is strikingly harmonious; from the elegant bulustrade adorning each step to the meticulous architectural details found throughout. This visual masterpiece serves as a testament to cultural exchange and artistic collaboration between East and West during this era. As we delve into this mesmerizing scene through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary blend of two distinct cultures coming together in perfect harmony. It reminds us that art has no boundaries or limitations when it comes to bridging gaps between civilizations.
