This talk analyzes the museum display to see how it evaluated and interpreted the Chinese religious and material culture contained in the museum\u2019s collection. By focusing on the museum\u2019s d\u00e9cor, it shows in particular how French craftsmen created ornament and framing devices that paid homage to Chinese craftsmanship while conveying parallels between French and Chinese imperial cultures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer class=\"entry-meta\"><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"post-4403\" class=\"post-4403 fa_events type-fa_events status-publish hentry fa_event_type-event-staff\">\n<header class=\"entry-header\"><\/header>\n<\/article>\n<p><strong>Speaker: Greg Thomas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Prof. Thomas teaches various aspects of European and American art and architecture from the 18th to 20th centuries, as well as the first-year survey of western art. A specialist in 19th-century French art, he has published <em>Art and Ecology in Nineteenth-Century France: The Landscapes of Th\u00e9odore Rousseau\u00a0<\/em>(Princeton, 2000) and\u00a0<em>Impressionist Children: Childhood, Family, and Modern Identity in French Art<\/em>\u00a0(Yale, 2010).
