Description
USF’s Center for the Pacific Rim presents “Ming Dynasty Court Art” a visual presentation by Michael KnightDescription of the event: The sixteen Ming emperors (1368-1644) used art for two main purposes. Internally it was to awe subjects, externally it was to awe foreigners. In both cases it worked. In architecture they built both Beijing's Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven. Their fleets sailed as far as East Africa. Sultans in Istanbul ate off of Ming blue and white porcelain. By the late 16th century Ming China was the globe's superpower.
