::"See also Giuseppe Castiglione (1829-1908), painter" Giuseppe Castiglione, S.J. (zh-stp|s=郎世宁|t=郎世寧|p=Láng Shìníng) (July 19 1688 – July 17 1766) was an Italian Jesuit Brother, missionary in China, painter at the court of the Emperor.
Born in Milan's San Macellino district, Castiglione studied painting in Italy with Carlo Cornara of the renowned "Botteghe degli Stampator" painting studio. In 1709, he became a Jesuit and in 1715, he went to China as a missionary. His skill as an artist was appreciated by the Emperor Qianlong and Castiglione spent many years painting various subjects. His style was a unique blend of European painting with Chinese subjects and themes.
While in China, Castiglione took the name "Lang Shining" (郎世寧). In addition to his demonstrable skill as a painter, he was also in charge of designing the Western-Style Palaces in the imperial gardens of the Old Summer Palace. This prominent Jesuit artist, architect, and missionary died in Beijing.
In 2005, Castiglione became the subject of the television series "Palace Artist" in China, played by famed foreign actor Dashan (Mark Rowswell), and broadcast by China Central Television (CCTV).
