This detailed pen-and-ink drawing, "Gezicht op een deel van het keizerlijk zomerpaleis in Chengde (Jehol) te China," created between 1712 and 1714 by Italian Jesuit Matteo Ripa, depicts a scenic view of the Mountain Resort in Chengde, China. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Ripa's time spent in China as a missionary and his keen eye for detail. The artwork showcases the Qing dynasty's grand imperial architecture and serene natural landscapes, offering a glimpse into the beauty and grandeur of the Summer Palace during Ripa's time.
