Among the most famous Chinese paintings, there’s a very long painting of horses called One Hundred Horses. To many people’s surprise, it was painted not by a Chinese artist but an Italian named Giuseppe Castiglione. He was better known in China by his Chinese name, Lang Shining.

In 1688, he was born in Milan, Italy. When he traveled to Beijing in 1715, he was invited to work as an artist. By then, he had already made a name for himself because of his special style putting Western and Chinese painting methods together. The things in the paintings appeared lifelike.

In 1724, Emperor Yongzheng asked him to paint One Hundred Horses on silk nearly eight meters long. It was no easy task. Once the brush is placed, there is no going back. He first practised on paper over and over again. After carefully planning, he copied the best piece onto silk, little by little. It took him four years to finish the painting. The one hundred horses are in different poses. Some stand quietly, while others run, walk, drink water or even fight.

The painting’s large size alone is enough to shock the viewers. A closer look, however, may surprise you further. He skillfully painted the trees, horses and people, yet they were all painted with a Chinese brush. In One Hundred Horses, humans and nature live side by side in peace, and so do Eastern and Western aesthetics (美学). Perhaps this perfect balance is why Emperor Qianlong liked it so much.
