One of the most illustrious and creative eras in China's history, the Tang dynasty flourished for almost three centuries, from AD 618 to 906. The conquest of much of Central Asia and Korea, followed by a period of peace and prosperity, produced a highly cosmopolitan empire: philosophy and customs became more sophisticated, an efficient administrative system developed, printing appeared for the first time, and the arts flourished.In Tang China, Edmund Capon provides an exciting and authoritative insight into the traditions, art and beliefs of this great civilization.
Edmund Capon Libros
Edmund Capon era tanto un erudito como un showman. Experto en arte chino y hablante de mandarín, era una figura pública animada y extrovertida. Combinó un profundo conocimiento del arte con un atractivo popular. Conocido por su afición a las jirafas y los calcetines impares, se sentía igualmente cómodo con artistas internacionales que con el personal de la galería.
