Giuseppe Castiglione, S.J. (Lang Shining, 19 July 1688 – 17 July 1766), was an Italian Jesuit brother and a missionary in China, where he served as an artist at the imperial court of three emperors –Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong. He painted in a style that is a fusion of European and Chinese traditions.
