Generally speaking, previous research on this topic did not mention the creation of a whole new style of perspective. Therefore, this study aims to find the evidence of the invention of Sino-Western perspective techniques applied in city scape paintings from the Qianlong court. Moreover, the creation of this new style could be related to the Emperor's cultural and political agenda. In the first chapters, the Western and Chinese techniques of perspective will be discussed. Furthermore, the Qianlong emperor's political and cultural agenda will be discussed as well. This study will be concluded with a chapter on Sino-Western perspective in Chinese pictorial art using various case studies. In this study, the connection between Qianlong's political and cultural agenda will be connected with the invention of the Sino-Western perspective techniques.Show less
