Throughout the 2000 year history of imperial rule the Chinese Emperors utilized the visual arts to not just enhance the culture of the Empire but also as a tool that defined their power and intellectual status.
David Rosier has prepared a special Study Day for Wyvern, which will take us on a journey through the costumes devised to define rank, court paintings and portraiture and the fine art collections of the Emperor Qianlong (1735-1796).
David Rosier is an accredited Arts Society lecturer and a well-known expert on the costume, culture and art of the Chinese Imperial Court.
