Unique piece – This is a picture of what achievements, instead of colonialist action or religious proselytising, the encounter of two different cultures can bring. The colour palette is determined by the three colours of the most famous flower of the Austrian Alps: the famous Edelweiss: light yellow, green and white. The egg-shaped structure bears calligraphy in a blood-red colour. The (European) Jesuits were the first to discover China and visit the Chinese court. Although they tried for centuries, they could never really establish Christianity there. Just as they succeeded in South America, for example ... - Chinese scholars and the Jesuits, however, shared scientific knowledge. That was good. And they brought their translations of Daoist and Confucian scriptures to the West/world. That was also good. "The Jesuit's Failure in China" is a unique digital painting. EDITION 1/1! – Printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta paper 315 g/sqm with archival inks, to ensure the quality and longevity of the print. – Signed by the artist on the back of the print and shipped well-protected in a tube.
