Hsinchu City Government collaborates with National Palace Museum to launch "Giuseppe Castiglione: Visited in Art" NPM Touring Educational Exhibition. The touring exhibition will be taking place at 241 Art Gallery on November 4; the public can experience sensory arts through watching, hearing, smelling, and touching. Hsinchu City Mayor Lin Chih-chien states that the exhibition brings the story and paintings of the legendary painter Lang Shining (Giuseppe Castiglione) from the Qing Dynasty to Hsinchu City; and the public can also experience aesthetic education through drama, co-authoring, and VR calligraphy. The touring exhibition only has 2 sessions, which will take places in Hsinchu City and Pingtung County; the public who is interested should not miss this opportunity.
Lang Shining was a missionary from Italy. He was favored by three emperors - Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong due to his lively and realistic style of painting. He had been working as a "court painter" for 51 years and he is famous for his animal portraits; the exhibition also uses "Lang Shining and His Animal Partners" as the theme.
The director of National Palace Museum Lin Jeng-yi states Hsinchu 241 Art Gallery surprised him that the place is able to combine art and life together, it is a very folk-friendly domain of art and culture. He anticipates future cooperation opportunities, so that the public in Hsinchu City can meet more NPM relics in this special place.
