Painting of Matteo Ricci Unveiled At The Asian Civilizations Museum

SINGAPORE - MAY 17: Mr Clement Onn, curator of the exhibition checks on the painting of Matteo Ricci by artist, Emmanuele Pereira after it is installed at the Asian Civilisations Museum on May 17, 2016 in Singapore. The oil on canvas painting depicts the Italian Jesuit missionary who spent most of his life bringing Christianity to China, and is a testament of how cultures converge even back in the 1600s as Western iconography reconciled with Asian cultures - he let his hair and beard grow, and wore long silk robes and the tall four corner hat of a Confucian scholar. The painting is one of the highlight pieces for the upcoming Christianity in Asia: Sacred Art and Visual Splendour exhibition which runs from May 27 to September 11, 2016.
