After Giuseppe Castiglione is a Baroque artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.

After Giuseppe Castiglione is an attribution used for paintings made in the manner of, or copied after, Giuseppe Castiglione rather than by his own hand. Castiglione (1688-1766) was an Italian Jesuit lay brother and painter who served as a court artist to the Qing emperors in Beijing, where he was known by the Chinese name Lang Shining. He combined European techniques of perspective and shading with Chinese materials and subjects, painting portraits, horses, birds, and flowers for the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong courts.

Works grouped under this heading reflect his influential hybrid style and the lasting demand for copies of it.
