Abstract

This article preliminarily analyzes a corpus of fifteenth-century Persianate paintings preserved in the Topkapi and Diez albums. It investigates the album paintings as the pictorial evidence to the Persianate first-hand encounter with Ming China. The paintings feature their emphasis on physiognomic verisimilitude of the painted figures and faithful description of their props and clothing. As a totality, they formulate the proto-ethnographic knowledge on China in the Persianate consciousness of this period. The last section on the representation of Chinese beauty, on the other hand, shows how pre-existing stereotyped imagination merged with the first-hand observation.
十五世纪波斯绘画中中国明朝的代表
本文初步分析了托普卡皮和迪耶兹相册中保存的15世纪波斯绘画文集。它调查了作为波斯人与明朝第一手接触的图像证据的画册画。这些画的特点是强调所画人物的面相逼真,并忠实地描述他们的道具和服装。作为一个整体,他们在这一时期的波斯意识中形成了关于中国的原始民族志知识。另一方面,关于中国美的再现的最后一节,展示了预先存在的刻板印象如何与第一手观察相融合。
