In the foreground a white horse with brown spots stands broadside, a grey rears against a black horse, and a chestnut-and-white horse lies stretched on its side. Beyond, a rider in green swings a long pole after three loose horses. A pale lake opens behind them, ringed by hills and peaks in blue-grey, with leafless and leafy trees along the shore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCastiglione, an Italian Jesuit painter at the Qing court, completed this handscroll in ink and colour on silk in 1728 for the Yongzheng emperor; it runs to nearly eight metres. The landscape is built with European perspective and light-and-shade modelling, while areas of the silk are left unpainted in the Chinese manner. A preparatory sketch drawn with a brush is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the finished scroll is in the National Palace Museum, Taipei.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: handscroll, ink and colour on silk, 1728; National Palace Museum, Taipei.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiuseppe Castiglione (1688–1766) was an Italian painter, born in Milan, who joined the Jesuits as a lay brother in 1707 and reached Beijing in 1715.
