BEAUTIFUL DOG and HORSE PAINTINGS BY BROTHER GUISEPPE CASTIGLIONE in the 1700s...

 
Giuseppe Castiglione, an Italian Jesuit friar in the Chinese Emperors' courts in the 1700s, painted a beautiful mashup of European and Chinese styles. Selections from three favorite series: Ten Prized Dogs and Ten Prized Steeds. At the bottom, a portion of 100 Horses which is 26.7 feet long painted 1723-5. All were painted with tempera on silk.
