SUMMARY:Colloquium on Pearl River Delta\, Art\, and Global Exchange in Maritime Trade History
DESCRIPTION:Colloquium on Pearl River Delta\, Art\, and Global Exchange in Maritime Trade History\nDate: 18 January 2019 (Saturday)\nTime: 10:30am-1:30pm\nVenue: Hong Kong Museum of Art \nDr Yeewan Koon will give a paper “The Dilemmas of the Portrait Gift” at this colloquium. This paper looks at the use of portraiture by the Manchu official Qiying (1787-1858) who was sent by the Daoguang Emperor (r.1820-1850) to Guangdong for the negotiations of the Nanjing Treaty after the Opium War (1839-1841). By looking at the different practices involved in the gifting of portraits in Europe and China\, the paper will highlight the problems of communications and exchanges between Britain and China during this period. It will also show how Guangdong’s leading merchants were instrumental in these discussions and how they were active players in Guangdong’s local community and Qing politics. Later\, she will join other speakers Dr. John D. Wong and Prof. Ching May Bo in a panel discussion led by Dr. Roslyn Hammers. \nSupported by the Lo Kwee Seong Foundation\nCo-hosted by Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Oriental Ceramic Society of Hong Kong \n \nRead more about the event.
