 One Hundred Horses is a 1728 painting by the Italian artist Giuseppe Castiglione, who served as a court painter during China's Qing dynasty. It is a 7.76-metre-long (25.5 ft) silk handscroll that depicts one hundred horses resting, galloping and crossing a river in a wooded landscape. Castiglione combined traditional Chinese painting techniques with European approaches to perspective and shading, creating a sense of depth and movement. One Hundred Horses was created for the Yongzheng Emperor, and it was declared a masterpiece in 1735 by his successor, the Qianlong Emperor. The painting is now held by the National Palace Museum in Taipei, while a sketch is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.Painting credit: Giuseppe Castiglione
