Abstract
The Metamorphoses of Matteo Ricci: A Case Study On Religious Visual Communication. The Jesuit missionary Matteo Ricci’s consecutive adoption of three different Chinese attires was crucial to the establishment of the Catholic Church in Late Ming China. An appropriate cultural contextualization suggests its nature and contributes to a better understanding of its consequences and relevance to the Church in our times. Keywords: Catholicism in Late Ming China, Jesuit Missions in the Far East, Catholic-Confucian Dialogue, Catholic-Buddhist Dialogue, Inculturation, Matteo Ricci, Michele Ruggieri, Alessandro Valignano
