Abstract

This study compares the similarities and differences between Eastern and Western cultures in the 17th century through the analysis of character images, features, backgrounds, forms, and content in two artworks - Emperor Qianlong’s Grand Military Parade and Portrait of Louis XIV in Military Attire on Horseback. It further analyzes the cultural phenomena and artistic expressions behind these works. From other artists’ works showing military dress, the artistic wisdom is reflected, and the fate of Qianlong’s military dress reflects the final glory and decline of the Qing Empire.
