Qianlong's "true appearance" was secretly painted by an Italian painter, and his appearance subverted the imagination of the world
As we all know, in our past play process, we always see street sketches, these street artists can draw a person's appearance on paper in a very short period of time. And these painters are often learned after countless days and nights, in China's feudal society, there has not yet been a systematic teaching of painting, the paintings painted by the ancients do not pay attention to restoration, more is the artistic conception of this painting.
Ancient China was a very mysterious place, only because it was impossible to understand this history from the real pictures, and could only speculate from the excavated cultural relics. Especially in the history of many famous people, today's people can not understand their true appearance, there is no relatively restored portrait that has been handed down to this day. And speaking of a generation of emperors, how could they not go home and paint for them? Of course, there is no doubt about the painter's technique in the palace, only because most of the paintings in ancient China were ink paintings, and the paintings were the emperors, so most of the emperor's flower hearts were beautified.
During the Qing Dynasty, as global exchanges became closer and closer, there were also Westerners in the palace, and during the Qianlong period, a Western painter secretly painted qianlong's "true face". Among the twelve emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong was lucky. Although the Yongzheng Emperor managed the country very well, he experienced the moment when nine sons seized the throne, and qianlong's throne was directly passed to him by Yongzheng. Then there was the foundation of the Qing Dynasty laid by Yongzheng, and under various factors, Qianlong created a prosperous world. At that time, the Qing Dynasty implemented a closed country, and there was no way to know the development of the world, but Qianlong knew a Western painter in the palace, this person was named Lang Shining, who was the royal painter in the royal family.
His painting skills are completely different from those of Chinese painters, so Qianlong and his concubines are very fond of letting him paint. In fact, Lang Shining's way of survival in the imperial palace is very well understood, and he pays great attention to beautification when painting for emperors and others. Because Lang Shining had been with Qianlong for a long time and was very familiar with his appearance, he secretly used Italian ink paintings to paint the "Portrait of the Half-Body Winter Dress of the Qianlong Emperor", and this is the painting that most resembles Qianlong Zhenrong in history. This painting is now stored in the Yinchuan Art Museum, and his appearance has subverted the imagination of the world. What do you think about this?
