Moving beyond iconography, the workshop examined materiality, technology, and production processes behind the formation of “court style” in the 18th century. With participation from Taiwan-based scholars and international experts including John Finlay (EHESS, Paris), it fostered dialogue on the globalizing dynamics of Qing cultural production and underscored Taiwan’s central role as a hub for art historical research on the Qing court.
