- Abstract
Since the introduction of western painting in China in the Ming Dynasty, Chinese painting has been influenced by western painting. In the Qing Dynasty, a group of Western missionary painters which are represented by the Italian missionary Castiglione came to China. They not only brought Western painting techniques but also were appointed by the Chinese emperors as imperial painters in the royal court. On the one hand, in order to cater to the aesthetic taste of the ruling class, they started to learn Chinese traditional painting techniques; on the other hand, under the Chinese emperor's instruction, they taught Chinese people the Western painting techniques. Thus a new painting style of combining Chinese and Western paintings formed in their royal court paintings and western painting teaching, which had a far-reaching influence on Chinese art and art education.
