| Meer info | - William Alexander was born in Maidstone, Kent, in Southeast England, in 1767. He became a student at the Royal Academy in 1784. In 1792, at the age of just 25, he was given the opportunity of a lifetime: he was chosen to accompany Lord Macartney's embassy to China as a junior draughtsman [...] However, the images of China that Alexander produced on the two year journey were a new, reliable and exciting glimpse into Chinese life, art, landscape, architecture and customs. Like no artist before, Alexander shaped the West?s image of this far away country.See: Alexandra Loske - Shaping an image of China in the West: William Alexander (1767-1816) - Copy rebound in blind half-leather with new endpapers, contents in good condition. |
