(4K) Traces of China 02: Chinoiserie takes Europe by storm

Decorative furniture, blue and white plates, and colorful patterns featuring birds and butterflies…these are common design elements in European everyday life. And they have a name: Chinoiserie. But where does this come from? In the second episode of Traces of China, we explore the flourishing of Chinese artistic influence in 17th and 18th century France, particularly during the reign of King Louis XIV. We examine how Chinese art — and even architecture — became deeply embedded in the imaginations of the European elite. #tracesofchina For more: https://www.cgtn.com/europe Social Media Twitter: https://twitter.com/CGTNEurope Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cgtneuropeofficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cgtneurope/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/cgtneurope Flipboard: https://flipboard.com/@CGTNEurope Feedly: https://feedly.com/i/subscription/feed%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.cgtn.com%2Frss%2Feurope%2Frss.xml OTT iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1466868682 Apple TV: https://www.cgtnnow.com/help/using-the-apple-tv-app/apple-tv-apps Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgtnamericanow Android TV: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgtnamericanow Roku: https://channelstore.roku.com/en-gb/details/d62729a397c999f496fb208aaf19d782/cgtn-now Fire TV: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TM1H636/ Our Shows RAZOR: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvPxSZWJo7MVrWR7bLC45FQ Podcasts: https://www.cgtn.com/special/CGTN-EUROPE-PODCASTS.html #CGTN #CGTNLIVE #CHINANEWS #EuropeNews On the supply side Chinese economy is in a very good shape: Jeffrey Sachs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWBCXSZf9Nc
