Josepf Rudolf (1876-1957) lived in Peking in the 1920s, at a pivotal time marked by the end of the Qing dynasty and the beginnings of the Chinese Republic, and was part of the tradition of European artist-travellers fascinated by Asia. His works, mainly in watercolour, show a documentary yet sensitive view of the Chinese capital, capturing its emblematic monuments, its traditional districts and the atmosphere of the city's transformation.
