12.3.  Tapestry: The Astronomers, from L’histoire de l’empereur de la Chine series, wool and silk, Beauvais manufacture, 1722–32. The templates were designed between 1686 and 1690 under the direction of Philippe Behagle (1641–1705). In the center is the Chinese emperor Shunzi (1638–61), and the bearded figure to the right is the Jesuit court astronomer Adam Schall von Bell (1592–1666). The teacher and the child are probably Schall von Bell’s and Johannes Schreck’s (1576–1630) successor, the Jesuit astronomer Ferdinand Verbiest (1623–88), with the son of the Emperor Kangxi (1654–1722). Inv. Nr. BSVQ0140. Bamberg, Neue Residenz mit Rosengarten, Room 10 c. © Bayerische Schlösserverwaltung, Rainer Herrmann / Maria Scherf / Andrea Gruber, München.
