The arts of China after 1620

Beginning with discussions of pictorial fine art and progressing to decorative arts that include carving, architecture, sculpture, ceramics, jade, glasswares and textiles, the authors demonstrate that during the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries China was on the verge of becoming a global cultural power. The volume covers the last three hundred years, with a focus on the eighteenth century reigns of Emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong. -- Dust Jacket.
