Following the lead of Matteo Ricci (1552-1610) in engaging the Chinese culture, Castiglione continued his artistic works, becoming an esteemed painter to Emperor Qianlong’s court. He redesigned various imperial buildings introducing, both in architecture and in the paintings within them, traditional Western artistic elements. He died in 1766 in China.
