In 1715, as a Jesuit missionary, he came to China, where he took the Chinese name Lang Shining. He worked as a court painter in the Qing court and served the emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong. As someone who participated in many painting projects for the court, Castiglione was a marvelous cultural asset for global cultural exchange during the 18th century. 2015 marks the 300th anniversary of his arrival in China. To celebrate this event, the National Palace Museum is putting on a special exhibition highlighting his life and his art. In coordination with the show, Chunghwa Post selected five paintings from the exhibition for a set of four stamps and a souvenir sheet. Also released is a pictorial presenting Castiglione’s five classic paintings through tiny stamps. The pictorial demonstrates his splendid creativity. It is elegantly and gracefully designed and welcomes your patronage. Souvenir Sheet: including two stamps (NT$70 and NT$12) It features Golden Pheasant in Spring, Lang Shining, Qing dynasty; Hanging scroll. The painting depicts two pheasants perched on a garden rock beside a mountain stream. Surrounding the rock are flowers, bamboo and spirit fungi, bringing to mind the Chinese expression "a brocade of spring radiance." To make it more interesting for stamp collectors and to do this ancient painting justice, the souvenir sheet will be printed on silk paper.
