McTyeire Fireside Chat: “The Magic of Majesty: Chinese Architecture and the Yongle Emperor’s Imperial Vision”

By Tracy Miller, Associate Professor of History of Art

This chat will look at the Yongle Emperor and his taste for grandeur as reflected in the architecture of cities, palaces, tombs, and temples expanded during his reign.
