Abstract

Since the late 19th century, much has been written about Chinese art in western languages, but there has been no comprehensive history of it to date. This paper focuses on the historiography of Chinese art in Hungary. The aims of the study are as follows: to establish a periodisation, to characterise each period by presenting the main works and their authors in order to reconstruct the course of changes in collecting and the taste for Chinese art in Hungary in the 20th century, and finally to investigate the role of the Oriental public collection (Ferenc Hopp Museum of Eastern Asiatic Arts).
