'Heaven's embroidered cloth' with David Rosier will be held Thursday, July 4 from 7.30 to 9.30pm at the Berry School of Arts.
David will trace the origins and myths that surround Imperial Chinese Silk. He will focus on developments within the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, trace the establishment of Imperial Weaving and embroidery workshops, and explore the artistic and technological skills required for this 'industry' to flourish.
This lecture is included in membership (available for $140 per year) or $25 at the door. Card facilities are available. This includes a light supper with wine.
A 'special interest day' will be held on Friday, July 5 from 10am to 3pm.
'Son of heaven, man of the word: The Emperor Qianlong - Ultimate Renaissance Ruler, and Fine Art Collector' will be presented by David Rosier.
Qianlong (1735 - 1796) was a successful military leader who guided China through an exceptional period of political and economic growth.
He was an extraordinary scholar with a prodigious output of poetry, essays and calligraphy. But it was perhaps as a collector, curator and appraiser of Fine Art and Antiques that Emperor Qianlong created his most enduring legacy.
