Lang Shih-ning (Giuseppe Castiglione 1688-1766) was a native of Milan, Iyaly. At the age of 19, he entered the Society of Jesus as a novitiate. Trained as a painter and architect, he was sent to China at the age of 27 to serve as a missionary. He arrived in Peking during the 54th year of the K'ang Hsi reign in 17125, and made the Church of St. Joseph his living quarters. He was summoned to the Palace to serve as a Court painter in the Imperial Academy. As Lang Shih-ning's works were collected by the Imperial Palace, the number of paintings attibuted to him now extant outside the Palace collection are very few.
