Embracing the Orient and the Occident: When the Silk Road Meets the Renaissance
Jointly organized by the National Museum of China and the Hunan Provincial Museum, this exhibition integrates more than 200 pieces from 24 Italian museums and 18 domestic museums to tell the story of exchange between Chinese and Italian artists during the 13th to 16th centuries. Through rediscovering the Chinese elements hidden in Italian Renaissance art, and re-probing the influence of the West on Chinese art, this exhibition reveals the complex dynamics of multicultural integration in the formation of human civilization. This exhibition brings together exquisite Chinese and Western art that spans time and space. In addition, this exhibition offers a thoughtful reflection on the subject of cross-cultural artistic exchange led by research experts from the international academic community.
