Art Museum of CUHK | The Qianlong Emperor: A Legacy in Art, The Huaihaitang Collection
📑 Event Overview
This exhibition features over 150 works selected from the Huaihaitang Collection, nearly half of which have been generously donated to the CUHK Art Museum for research and teaching purposes. The 18th century stands as the golden age of Chinese court art. From the late Kangxi to the early Jiaqing period, a wide range of objects was produced, including porcelain, jade, bronzes, lacquerware, textiles, scholars’ objects, books, rubbings, and calligraphy and painting. Characterized by refined materials, opulent style and meticulous craftsmanship, these works exemplify a disciplined aesthetic known as “production to imperial standards” (「內廷恭造」).
