documents and key contemporary scholarship on Asian art
history.

contexts, and geography - from the terracotta armies of the First
Emperor of Qin to late 20th-century installation art.
- Covers both imperially commissioned works and popular,
vernacular art.
- Includes an accessible introduction which provides suggestions
of thematic connections across the vast array of visual culture and
historical time covered.

documents - from inscriptions and imperial decrees to writings by
artists and travellers - and through examples of the very best
scholarship in the field
