The evidence on the ground revealed that roads were not part of some overall planned network. Rather they are the remnants of paths that moai transporters took as they walk the statues across the landscape,” they write.
While this helps explain how the statues were moved around the island, it doesn’t explain why.
For instance, Emperor Qianlong is famous for his extensive collections of Chinese art, which superseded in scale even those of the Ming dynasty, but also for his preservation of Manchu heritage (through the commission of histories, genealogies, etc.) It was thus that the Qing dynasty was able to develop it’s art, not only through the preservation of Manchurian tradition, but through the assimilation of the culture of the nations they conquered. One can easily find portraits depicting the Qianlong Emperor as a Buddhist God in Tibetan fashion, the Yongzheng Emperor dressed as a Mongol, or even as a French Noble, etc.Naturally, as a result of the increasingly ubiquitous Western world, Chinese art would come to reflect its most prized aesthetic values: the most dominant of these, that was not present in the art of the “orient”, was realism
