The essays in the volume reveal the extent to which images, artifacts, and natural specimens were traded and copied, and how these materials inflected both cultures' visions of novelty and pleasure, battle and power, and ways of seeing and representing. Artists and craftspeople on both continents borrowed and adapted forms, techniques, and modes of representation, producing deliberate, meaningful, and complex new creations. By considering this reciprocity from both Eastern and Western perspectives, \u003ci\u003eQing Encounters\u003c\/i\u003e offers a new and nuanced understanding of this critical period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Petra Ten-Doesschate Chu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606064576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606064573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Getty Research Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2016","brand":"Petra Ten-Doesschate Chu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984552526079,"sku":"9781606064573","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39729003-411e-416b-8098-a160418540d9.jpg?v=1683272939","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/qing-encounters-petra-ten-doesschate-chu-9781606064573","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
