Description
Summary:There has been extensive research into the interactions between Chinese artifacts and material and visual culture in Belgium and the Netherlands of the same era under the labels of chinoiserie, export art, or company art. Recent scholarship has drawn attention to the mediation of Netherlandish and Flemish art in Asia, and developed such terms as "Euroiserie," "Européenerie," or "Chinese Occidenterie" to label fashions for European and European-style art in China. Going beyond sociological approaches that focus on Flemish Jesuit agency or Dutch East India Company "Mediation," and nuancing umbrella terms that stress the priority of man-made systems of taste over object agency, this article will examine a number of EurAsian objects.
