Jiang Guo Fang has spent the better part of his career painting subjects from the Qing Dynasty and the Forbidden City, and has developed a following among private collectors as well as museums who appreciate his historical interpretations of past dynasties. His work is influenced by his interest in western artistic styles and his desire to create art that reflects the grandeur and importance of a particular period in Chinese history. His paintings display the exquisite details of the imperial palaces, but, at the same time, they reveal the private moments and emotions of the human inhabitants such as the emperor Puyi who is shown here pausing to listen to bells ringing outside of the Forbidden City. The sunglasses were given to him by a British professor who was his teacher for a brief time.
