Giuseppe Castiglione painted for emperors who couldn’t sit still. The Italian Jesuit spent 51 years in Beijing, turning Chinese emperors into heroes with Western tricks—muscles that looked real, clouds that looked soft—while sneaking Chinese rocks and pines into every corner. His trick? Make power look calm. Tap *Ten Thousand Year Landscape* to see how he blended two worlds on one sheet of silk.
