| Description | This article examines wall-paintings and other wall decorations designed after the Chinese fashion, in the eighteenth century, which are preserved in former aristocratic residences in the Czech Republic. Most of the interiors feature wall-paintings which draw on French chinoiserie rather than Chinese originals, there also are painted emulations of Delft tiles with ‘Chinese’ images. Illusionist exotic landscapes, which are closely related, are also discussed. |
