About this book
Faces of China' is the first exhibition explicitly dedicated to Chinese portrait painting. A selection of more than 100 paintings from the collections of the Palace Museum Beijing and the Royal Ontario Museum Toronto, most of which have never been shown in Europe, spans a period of more than 500 years. The main focus is on the unique portraits of the Qing Dynasty (1644?1912), including images of members of the imperial court, ancestors, military figures, and informal portraits of artists and famous women. These portraits evidence a blossoming of the genre that had never been seen before. An extensive catalogue will accompany the exhibition.00Exhibition: Kulturforum, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Germany (12.10.2017-07.01.2018).
