Source Description
The flower-and-bird painting in this vase was intricately executed in colored enamels (<em>falangcai</em>), with careful modeling, shading, and blending of colors reflecting European influences through missionary-artists at the Qing court. The Jesuit artist Giuseppe Castiglione (1688–1766), in particular, exerted tremendous impact at the Qianlong academy.
