Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Published for the exhibition in Monaco, this book will bring together some 200 remarkable exhibits, from the former palace of the emperors and loans from major European and American collections: the Musee Cernuschi and the Musee du Louvre in Paris, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels, and the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in Washington. The Forbidden City is one of the most impressive palace complexes, and the world's most popular tourist venue; now both a palace and a museum, it served as the hub around which the new capital, Beijing, was organised. Built between 1406 and 1420, it became the cradle of power for the Manchu dynasty for almost three centuries. The book will highlight different aspects of Qing life (1644-1911), last imperial dynasty, and will endeavor to discover the personality of the Chinese emperors through selected works and writings. The personalities of the Qing emperors are a crucial element of the book, most notably in the cases of Kangxi (1662-1722), Yongzheng (1723-1735) and Qianlong (1736-1795), who considered themselves exemplars of Chinese culture. As the "Son of Heaven", the emperor was an all-powerful being and the nation's military, religious and cultural leader. Readers will discover items linked to these different functions, among them portraits, ceremonial costumes, furniture, precious objets d'art and scientific instruments, some of which are ranked as "national treasures". The amazing Forbidden City: life of the Emperors and Empresses of China. A chance to discover the very heart of an emblematic setting, rooted in Chinas collective memory and home to a heritage of inestimable value.

Format in-4°. ------ 288 pages. ********************** Présentation de l'éditeur : "" "La Cité interdite à Monaco : vie de cour des empereurs et impératrices de Chine" est une invitation à découvrir les fastes de la dynastie des Qing (1644-1911) à travers quelque 250 oeuvres d'exception, dont des trésors nationaux provenant de l'ancien palais des souverains chinois mais aussi de grandes collections européennes et nord-américaines. L'exposition est une fenêtre ouverte sur une Chine à son zénith, dont jamais le territoire ne fut si grand, protégé à ses frontières par 200 000 soldats des Huit Bannières, tandis que 20 000 lettrés administrent son empire et que 10 000 personnes vivent à la cour, à Pékin, autour du Fils du Ciel. L'art officiel, portraits impériaux, costumes d'apparat, armures, regalia, et plus généralement la vie de cour à la fois raffinée et intime, sont illustrés par des oeuvres insignes, jades antiques, peintures de maîtres anciens, calligraphies rares, porcelaines délicates, soieries précieuses. Une fabuleuse immersion au coeur du Céleste Empire, offerte en partage."" *********************************.…
