Some Sinologist don’t dare to say, but these marks are nuisance particularly Qing long who stamp his mark in every good painting. Some people in china simply call them aristocratic graffiti.
My family had these two paintings that were supposedly made by a very famous artist that were priceless. We treasured it and it was passed down through generations. One day I decided to take it to get appraised. So I took it to a museum curator of Asian art and as I slowly unrolled he said "it's fake"! LOL
Lol no surprises there. Had a friend who asked me to help check out a big chunk of metal he had bought from a local antique store. I turned it over and the engraved characters read "the Imperial Seal of Qian Long", clean and precisely cut in laser cutter fashion. The next time I visited, I saw the "Imperial Seal" on the floor being used as a door stop.
@xlyoutube😁 Anyone with a bit of sense, Would knew The Chinese antique with Imperial Seal Would never be Found, Brought n Sold Through Open Air market stalls It's too obvious, the seller would get more from world famous auction N Global Maga Rich audience 🎉😉🤣
cows had a special place in ancient farming culture An official Ning Qi 寧戚 had a skill of judging the potency of a cow by its appearance, even wrote a book on it. He spent an afternoon watching the buffalos sweat. A travel merchant doubted he's a slacker. He said, "This is my job as Agricultural Minister. Many cows sweat and pant prematurely early spring, indicating that this could be a drought year."
In a way the Chinese invented animation / moving pictures by creating the rolling scroll painting style. They are designed for the viewer to hold the ends of the scroll in either hand and view the whole panoramic painting, while rolling, from one end to the other. Literally, moving pictures.
This is an excellent introduction to Chinese paintings for all those who are interested in learning Chinese Civilizations. Thank you so much for a very instructive video.
The Song Dynasty painting I thought you would show is Bare Willows and Distant Mountains by Ma Yuan. In an art history course many years ago, it was presented as one of the two most important paintings of the Song Dynasty. I don’t remember the other one. But thank you for the paintings you showed. They are wonderful.
Three tenth-century works are among my favorites among the Chinese paintings I have encountered (in all cases, through photographic reproduction): 'Snowy Bamboo', on silk, attributed to Xu Xi, a picture which strikingly anticipates the 'sfumato' effect we associate with Leonardo da Vinci; 'A Palace Concert', on silk, of the school of Zhou Wenju, a charming genre scene of palace ladies enjoying drink and music at table; and screen panels on silk depicting deer congregating in a grove of maple trees, a lovely and colorful picture whose creator has remained anonymous.
Wáng Xīmèng's landscape is extraordinary. Passionate Wuxia movie watcher here, and always love the art that appears in those too, especially the huge 3D wall murals.
Qianlong is known to be a busybody/smartypants who loved to stick his nose in really old matters of the past, such as reopening ancient cases to pass his own judgment. He loved finding chances to leave his mark on long-past issues.
OMG - They are such fine works of art - they can never be replaced and must stay safe in any special holdings to keep them from being any further deteriorated. I am so thrilled that I was able to see these. Thanks so much for showing them!
Early Snow on the River 江行初雪圖 , by Zhao Gan (a student) late 10th C. I love all the details and characters drawn (even the donkeys had expressions), almost like manga!
Thank you for listing these excellent images. They're fantastic! Unfortunately, you only show the images very briefly in your video. You spend most of your time showing yourself. You could have spoken the text in the background of a featured image. Then we would have heard your voice explaining the image and been able to view the image at the same time. It's a shame.

You people have some ungrateful gall. There's a nicer way of saying things. This man took his time to make the video and bring knowledge to you ignorant folks and you give a backhanded "thank you". Is it too hard for you to go look up each painting or replay or pause the video? Even if he left the clips of the art up longer, this is not a museum. How long would you like the video to be so you can have a long view of each for your viewing pleasure? Even though the video is only a few minutes long, do you know how long it took him to research for it, put the images together, record it, add text and subtitles?!? Freakin entitled ignorant people!
That's a good idea, in the meantime here you go : "Five Oxen", "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains" and "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" are at the Palace Museum in Beijing. "Admonitions Scrolls" are at the British Museum in London and "One Hundred Horses" is in National Palace Museum in Taipei
One of the historical paintings I personally love is the Empress with the baby christ. It has multiple stories of its history has a few different stories! It's not done in a historical Chinese style. But i like it and the visual statement it makes.
In the time of Admonitions of the Court Instructress (4th century CE), Europe did not yet paint on canvas at all. The use of stretched fabric (linen or canvas) as a painting surface came more than a thousand years later, during the Italian Renaissance (14th-15th century).
The last three in your list are my absolute favs. The Qingming painting was digitally animated in conjunction with the Beijing Olympics (if memory serves) and post-Olympic did, it did a tour of a handful of Asian cities before returning to a museum in Beijing. I was living in Hong Kong at the time but missed a chance to view it on exhibition because it was full-house every single day that it was on show, what a pity! My surprise was/is that after it returned to Beijing, it was exhibited for only a short while before it was taken down. I thought that was such a waste as the digital animation itself was an amazing work of art and passion, that it should have been put on permanent exhibition in some museum (I'm not sure if they did that, maybe they have). I still harbour hopes that one day I'll get to view the animated version, it had such a fairytale and wondrous vibe to it.
as someone whose first exposure to chinese media was "Ruyis Royal Love in the Palace" it still brings me joy every time someone makes a bit of fun of Qianlong and his art collection lol
Greetings, sir, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I truly enjoyed watching and listening to you pointing out the precious paintings. And your Mandarin puts many natives Chinese to shame. I am looking forward to learn more from you. 🙏
Lang Shining has a painting of Qianlong in armor on a horse which is truly magnificent, would be great if you could add it in a maybe the 2nd part of the series
Wow! Wonderful video :D I thoroughly enjoyed it! This was so fascinating. Such beautiful art. The detail is rather mind-blowing. The Five Cows was truly wonderful. I hope it was just cos he loved them :) They were rendered quite soulfully. Those landscapes and the river scrolls were so intricate. Such talent. What a buzz to keep discovering people and places within it depending on where and how closely one looks. I cannot fathom the skill. And there is something so special about the trees. I had not realised about the Italian painter! I love that idea. So far from home but another culture so rich in art. I also love that horses was the subject. I wanted to know about all those stamps too. Seemed so excessive. Thank you for all the pronunciation too. I watch a lot of Chinese TV and struggle quite a bit. Even with subtitles I can't tell the syntax. Great vid, thank you! 😃🙏🐴🐮🌲
not the painting of Mona Lisa, but the last surpper. You may want to include some wall painting in caves of DunHuang, some these theme.and styles of Tang period definitely affect Japanese painting
I did know about Qianlong’s passion for art, but did’t know that he spammed with his seals that much. Although thanks for sharing Beautiful art of China!
In addition to these, there are "Nymph of the Luo River" by Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, "The Scroll of Eighty-Seven Immortals" by the Tang Dynasty painting saint Wu Daozi, "Emperor Taizong Receiving the Tibetan Envoy" by Yan Liben, "The night Revels of Han Xizai" by Gu Hongzhong, "Portrait of Lady of Guo Going Sightseeing in Spring" by Zhang Xuan, "Auspicious Crane" by Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty, "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" by Huang Gongwang of the Yuan Dynasty, which are all rare masterpieces. It is really difficult to rank.
Loving this video, a great clip of introduction in Chinese art. The content is interesting, succinct, informative and educational. Hopefully you can do more videos on Chinese art with interesting fact. With all these stamps on the cover, you can even have a following episode on the special red ink! I recently watched a video on Longquan ink pad which I reckon is a great Chinese genius invention, it is both water and fire proof, precious and took many crafting hours to create.
Should have a whole episode of jesuits in the ming. Also love the Chinese art content. Video could use some xia gui! My favorite of the Chinese painters. Also really cool would be the connection between Chinese and Japanese zen painting.
Except for the last painting, which doesn’t really count as a Chinese painting in my mind, I can appreciate this super-brief intro to Chinese painting. But for a lot more depth in the subject, I highly recommend viewing Professor James Cahill’s series here: ruclips.net/p/PLaUdLuxIi2e-roavkS6wcXZ5f_uh0CSMz&si=0qsH6bDkO6uJ2iK7
Love this little direction you guys are taking with the content! Speaking about Chinese paintings, perhaps a take on animals that are famously depicted ~ the realistic ones vs mythical ones: koy, horses vs dragon, phoenix, qilin, etc. | And perhaps for fun... the story about why Chinese lions look nothing like the African versions (might need a separate video for this).
I agree with the comment that Travelers Among Mountains and Streams 谿山行旅 is the true "Mona Lisa" of Chinese art, partly for its age but also for it being a sine qua non of the display of "monumentality" in landscape painting. And it really is the best example of "Where's Wally," as painter Fan Kuan 范宽 hid his signature in the painting, and it was not disovered for nearly 1000 years in 1958! Check out the excellent Google Arts and Culture feature on the painting, where you can Zoom in close to observe the amazing details of the painting. Can you find the signature?
Qing Dynasty was ruled by a nomadic Manchu people who were from the beginning were inspired the nomadic life of Mongols. No wonder why the new Manchu Emperor wanted a painting of 100 horses.
As expected, bonkers. And Castiglione is the most famous relatively unknown painter ever! Also, it seems that the Chinese like to focus on painting animals in different positions (that Oxen and Castiglione horses). I don't think this is the thing in Western art. More please!

Well, for as exceptional as your Chinese is- it's Baroque- Bah- Roke. Yeah, it's ok. I loved the Li one, that was fantastic. The Asians didn't really delve into the finer aspects of paintings, like creating paints that were really good or making canvases and stuff like the Europeans did, nor did they delve much into subject matter- it's mostly pastoral type scenes. Europe will always be the epicenter of paintings roots. It's also why most people don't know much about Asian artists. Japan has some decent early ones too. Now, Asians in the 'modern era' have all kinds of talented ones they just weren't the progenitors of most of it. Anywho, thanks for the Li- it's a great piece. The 5 ox was good to.
many natural pigments can be quite dangerous. particularly malachite and azurite. it would not surprise me if his passion was responsible for shortenening his life considerably. how tragically poetic
In the Owen Gingerich book "The book nobody read" he points out that Most "rulers" write in their books. That's what lead to his conviction that NOBODY read Copernicus's work! Most of the owned copies are unbound and un-annotated. Books then were printed, sold THEN bound. Only about 10% of his works were printed, bound annotated and WELL worn, almost all are that are are in libraries and universities. Well, scientists read Copernicus, who doesn't? Kind of like Lau Tzu.
One thing for sure with Chinese art. For example, an artwork from Song Dynasty (roughly 11th century AD), compare this painting with a European 11th century. The European artwork somehow can't even paint a normal human being accurately while the Chinese artwork of human look human.

A thousand Li of rivers and mountains is my favourite, fascinating small details.
Love this episode introducing ancient Chinese paintings and their context .
😊🙏
Amazing art and history! Thank you for introducing me to some important Chinese art. My favorite is A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains
The ominous sound and cut to Emperor Qian Long's seals on almost every painting was funny.
Yes, all the nobles then knew he fonded of collecting arts, but no real sense.
Some Sinologist don’t dare to say, but these marks are nuisance particularly Qing long who stamp his mark in every good painting. Some people in china simply call them aristocratic graffiti.
Beautiful, beautiful paintings! And beautiful presentation!
My family had these two paintings that were supposedly made by a very famous artist that were priceless. We treasured it and it was passed down through generations. One day I decided to take it to get appraised. So I took it to a museum curator of Asian art and as I slowly unrolled he said "it's fake"! LOL
Lol no surprises there. Had a friend who asked me to help check out a big chunk of metal he had bought from a local antique store. I turned it over and the engraved characters read "the Imperial Seal of Qian Long", clean and precisely cut in laser cutter fashion. The next time I visited, I saw the "Imperial Seal" on the floor being used as a door stop.
😁Well, it was a Great Spin by your very own ancestors. They had never commissioned from the original artist🎉 🤣
@xlyoutube😁 Anyone with a bit of sense, Would knew The Chinese antique with Imperial Seal Would never be Found, Brought n Sold Through Open Air market stalls
It's too obvious, the seller would get more from world famous auction
N Global Maga Rich audience 🎉😉🤣
@lillyshi2705 Or they were scammed by a reseller. Back in the day there was no way to verify any type of authenticity.
Thank you for this interesting documentation. It is rather to find such a particular study. Very impressive.
cows had a special place in ancient farming culture
An official Ning Qi 寧戚 had a skill of judging the potency of a cow by its appearance, even wrote a book on it.
He spent an afternoon watching the buffalos sweat. A travel merchant doubted he's a slacker. He said, "This is my job as Agricultural Minister. Many cows sweat and pant prematurely early spring, indicating that this could be a drought year."
A Thousand Li is astonishing. I first saw it about 30 years ago, and I've been looking at it ever since.
😁👍
Classic Chinese art is just what I needed to see. Thanks yt poster and algorithm

满清对明朝的
篡改，远比想象的更彻底
所谓的满清“历史”，中国明朝，早已被满清动了“大手术”。从史书编纂到文献销毁，从文化诠释到制度重
构，满清用百年时间，刻意改写了明朝的
真实面貌，扒开这层被掩盖的历史真相！
一、《明史》：被精心
修饰的“明朝画像”
清廷耗时近百年修撰《明史》，却不是
为了还原历史，而是为了服务统治：
丑化明朝皇帝：无限放大万历“怠
政”、天启“宠宦”的缺点，对洪武的开
国之功、永乐的拓土之绩轻描淡写，甚至
刻意抹黑南明政权，将其归为“流贼”之
列，抹杀正统性。
贬低抗清义士：史可法死守扬州、张煌
言海上抗清的壮烈，在《明史》中被简化
成寥寥数笔；反观降清官员，却被塑造
成“识时务的俊杰”，双标至极。
淡化满清暴行：扬州十日、嘉定三屠这
类满清入关的血腥史实，在《明史》中几
乎不见踪影，反而把明末战乱的锅全甩给
明朝“腐朽”。
二、焚书禁书：十万卷
明朝文献的消失
康雍乾三朝的文字狱，本质就是对明朝
记忆的“清洗”:
乾隆朝禁毁3000余种书籍，近十万卷
文献化为灰烬，其中大多是记载南明历
史、满清先世向明称臣的野史、私人笔
记。
篡改民间典籍：《三国演义》里“尊汉
贬夷”的情节被改，明朝文集里的“华夷
之辨”被删，就连《天工开物》这类科技
巨著，也因涉及明朝成就被一度禁传。
销毁航海档案：郑和下西洋的详细资料
被大量焚毁，让明朝领先世界的航海壮
举，只留下只言片语的记载。
三、文化制度：从根上
扭曲明朝的精神内核
满清不仅改史，更要改“心”：
扭曲儒家思想：把程朱理学变成皇权工
具，篡改“华夷之辨”为“满汉一家”，
打压王阳明心学这类强调独立思考的学
说，让读书人变得麻木顺从。
现代科技和文明的根基，
很多有来自中国古代唐朝、宋朝、明朝并散播到中亚、欧洲、美州，你们加以抄袭
和改进，当然那之后中国被两次
外来野蛮人（蒙古、满清）灭国长达400多年，华人和文化、
科技直接被摧毁几百年。特别是
是对中国文化直接灵魂级别的消
灭，甚至大量的篡改中国历史，
你们可能绝不会相信，但这是历史事实，
考古的严谨性目前在慢慢还原

This video would be much better if he left the painting up longer than seeing him!
Loved this episode, please tell more stories about cool Chinese art pieces
A wonderful discussion, thank you!
Wow, such beautiful masterpieces ...conveying insight and life experience! Enjoying your anecdotes and presentation very much! 😊

I have QingMing festival on a two-sided folded lacquered plate. It is colourful and beautiful.
Bravo. Such precious documentation and knowledge of history and art. Hats off and thank you!!

Absolutely fascinating. These were all new to me and I greatly enjoyed seeing them and learning the background stories behind their creation.

I like the thousand mountains most
Personally I think Nine Dragon by Chen Rong should be there too
😊👍
I know i can google it myself, but would be nice if you include details of where these paintings are located. ❤
That's a good idea, in the meantime here you go :
"Five Oxen", "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains" and "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" are at the Palace Museum in Beijing.
"Admonitions Scrolls" are at the British Museum in London and "One Hundred Horses" is in National Palace Museum in Taipei

Lovely video, does anyone know where I can get prints of these and other Chinese art work?
This first one with empress Jia sounds like a chinese harem cdrama character
In fact, she is the most notorious empress in China.
Wow! Wonderful video :D I thoroughly enjoyed it! This was so fascinating. Such beautiful art. The detail is rather mind-blowing. The Five Cows was truly wonderful. I hope it was just cos he loved them :) They were rendered quite soulfully. Those landscapes and the river scrolls were so intricate. Such talent. What a buzz to keep discovering people and places within it depending on where and how closely one looks. I cannot fathom the skill. And there is something so special about the trees. I had not realised about the Italian painter! I love that idea. So far from home but another culture so rich in art. I also love that horses was the subject. I wanted to know about all those stamps too. Seemed so excessive. Thank you for all the pronunciation too. I watch a lot of Chinese TV and struggle quite a bit. Even with subtitles I can't tell the syntax. Great vid, thank you! 😃🙏🐴🐮🌲
😊🙏
not the painting of Mona Lisa, but the last surpper. You may want to include some wall painting in caves of DunHuang, some these theme.and styles of Tang period definitely affect Japanese painting
I did know about Qianlong’s passion for art, but did’t know that he spammed with his seals that much. Although thanks for sharing Beautiful art of China!
He had 1800 seals, truly unstoppable
In addition to these, there are "Nymph of the Luo River" by Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, "The Scroll of Eighty-Seven Immortals" by the Tang Dynasty painting saint Wu Daozi, "Emperor Taizong Receiving the Tibetan Envoy" by Yan Liben, "The night Revels of Han Xizai" by Gu Hongzhong, "Portrait of Lady of Guo Going Sightseeing in Spring" by Zhang Xuan, "Auspicious Crane" by Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty, "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" by Huang Gongwang of the Yuan Dynasty, which are all rare masterpieces. It is really difficult to rank.
Very interesting, thank you. Zai jian :)
excellent Jared thank you
You're welcome!! 😊🙏
Nice! Your Chinese is Great! I watch a lot of Asian subtitle shows and you sound just like them! I also LOVE the artwork....So Beautiful!
😄🙏
The Night Revels of Han Xizai or The Night Entertainments of Han Xizai is a painted handscroll attributed to Chinese 10th-century artist Gu Hongzhong.
Loving this video, a great clip of introduction in Chinese art. The content is interesting, succinct, informative and educational. Hopefully you can do more videos on Chinese art with interesting fact.
With all these stamps on the cover, you can even have a following episode on the special red ink! I recently watched a video on Longquan ink pad which I reckon is a great Chinese genius invention, it is both water and fire proof, precious and took many crafting hours to create.
Wow, very cool!! 😄👍
Very cool!
Should have a whole episode of jesuits in the ming. Also love the Chinese art content. Video could use some xia gui! My favorite of the Chinese painters. Also really cool would be the connection between Chinese and Japanese zen painting.
Great ideas 👍
Except for the last painting, which doesn’t really count as a Chinese painting in my mind, I can appreciate this super-brief intro to Chinese painting. But for a lot more depth in the subject, I highly recommend viewing Professor James Cahill’s series here: ruclips.net/p/PLaUdLuxIi2e-roavkS6wcXZ5f_uh0CSMz&si=0qsH6bDkO6uJ2iK7
Love this little direction you guys are taking with the content! Speaking about Chinese paintings, perhaps a take on animals that are famously depicted ~ the realistic ones vs mythical ones: koy, horses vs dragon, phoenix, qilin, etc. | And perhaps for fun... the story about why Chinese lions look nothing like the African versions (might need a separate video for this).
😊🙏 Great ideas 😄👍
Beautiful. Thank you.

“Someone who loves art, but has no taste.” lol 😂
I agree with the comment that Travelers Among Mountains and Streams 谿山行旅 is the true "Mona Lisa" of Chinese art, partly for its age but also for it being a sine qua non of the display of "monumentality" in landscape painting. And it really is the best example of "Where's Wally," as painter Fan Kuan 范宽 hid his signature in the painting, and it was not disovered for nearly 1000 years in 1958! Check out the excellent Google Arts and Culture feature on the painting, where you can Zoom in close to observe the amazing details of the painting. Can you find the signature?
Gracias, maravilloso ❤🎉

六柿图 (6 persimmons) by 牧谿 (Muqi)
I feel lucky to have seen this painting in a rare loan from Japan at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco in 2023.
Very pretty oxs😊
😄👍
👍👍👏👏😍😍
Qing Dynasty was ruled by a nomadic Manchu people who were from the beginning were inspired the nomadic life of Mongols. No wonder why the new Manchu Emperor wanted a painting of 100 horses.
Masterpiece paintings 😁😁😁😁😁
😁👍
Could you make another one about the best Chinese calligraphy too ? Thanks !
Poutníci v horách, Večerní písně rybářů, květiny od Wang Wej..
That you know of, of course.
Interesting
Great video.
😊🙏

This video is beautiful.
😊🙏
As expected, bonkers. And Castiglione is the most famous relatively unknown painter ever!
Also, it seems that the Chinese like to focus on painting animals in different positions (that Oxen and Castiglione horses). I don't think this is the thing in Western art.
More please!
The portrait of 王希孟 is a mistake, that’s 宋徽宗’s portrait. Besides that it’s a great video❤
ooh that's true
I love Jade

0:50 en efecto. Y el PODER GLOBAL UNICO, que es lo unico que hay, el poder unico que hay en el mundo ....( con distintas máscaras, pero un solo poder real -desde hace mucho tiempo) ...puso y mantuvo a Bidem ..para demostrarlo: que los que nominalmente están al frente de incluso el mayor poder global, la mayor máscara del mismo ( la presidencia de USA) ...era una marioneta. ( Se trataba de una, una más, demostración pública de ese poder global unico. Una auténtica ceremonia pública ...y de señalamiento de todo el resto de poderes ...cómplices y siervos de ese poder.
[Es un poder que ya era unico ...en la guerra fría. En moscú y en washington ..mandaban los mismos. El escenario de la guerra fría ..impuesto al mundo ...se diseñó antes del comienzo de la segunda guerra mundial. Y ..podríamos remontarnos en el tiempo. Y por supuesto ...llegar hasta hoy. Donde el nuevo antagonista ...diseñado por el poder global unico ...es, una vez hecha colapsar a la urss ...CHINA. Mira, ...china aparece en esta Historia. Digo que ...estamos aquí para aprender algo de historia y de pintura china . Pues eso.
Well, for as exceptional as your Chinese is- it's Baroque- Bah- Roke. Yeah, it's ok. I loved the Li one, that was fantastic. The Asians didn't really delve into the finer aspects of paintings, like creating paints that were really good or making canvases and stuff like the Europeans did, nor did they delve much into subject matter- it's mostly pastoral type scenes. Europe will always be the epicenter of paintings roots. It's also why most people don't know much about Asian artists. Japan has some decent early ones too. Now, Asians in the 'modern era' have all kinds of talented ones they just weren't the progenitors of most of it. Anywho, thanks for the Li- it's a great piece. The 5 ox was good to.
Where are these paintings now?
many natural pigments can be quite dangerous. particularly malachite and azurite. it would not surprise me if his passion was responsible for shortenening his life considerably. how tragically poetic
In the Owen Gingerich book "The book nobody read" he points out that Most "rulers" write in their books. That's what lead to his conviction that NOBODY read Copernicus's work! Most of the owned copies are unbound and un-annotated. Books then were printed, sold THEN bound. Only about 10% of his works were printed, bound annotated and WELL worn, almost all are that are are in libraries and universities. Well, scientists read Copernicus, who doesn't? Kind of like Lau Tzu.
No Xia Gui? No Huang Gongwang? No Fan Kuan? I’m just a little miffed at this list😉
I thought the first painting was Korean omg😭
건륭제가 나랑 꼭 닮았네, 허긴 나두 김씨이지 암튼 같은 김씨라 그런지 나랑 생김새가 똑같다😮
One thing for sure with Chinese art. For example, an artwork from Song Dynasty (roughly 11th century AD), compare this painting with a European 11th century. The European artwork somehow can't even paint a normal human being accurately while the Chinese artwork of human look human.

"Harmonious hole", that's the auto subtitle I got.
Google's, or at least RUclips's, AI is clearly not at the cutting edge, hole or not. LOL.
Thank you, corrected
Giuseppe Castiglione (Jesuit painter) from the Society of Jesus, same as the late Pope Francis
