EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of Batou, taken from the renowned book "The Travels of Marco Polo" by Marco Polo and Rustichello da Pisa. Translated by Henry Yule and first published in 1871, this engraving is a true masterpiece created by an unknown artist from medieval China. Batou Khan, depicted here with great detail and precision, was a prominent Mongol ruler and the grandson of the legendary Genghis Khan. The image portrays him as a formidable warrior, adorned in traditional Asian attire. He proudly holds his bow while arrows rest within his quiver, symbolizing his expertise in archery. A magnificent headdress crowns his head, adding to his regal appearance. With sword in hand and a determined expression on his face, Batou emanates strength and power as he stands ready for battle. This illustration beautifully captures the essence of this historical figure who played a significant role in shaping the Mongol Empire. Displayed against a backdrop that evokes ancient Asia's allure, this artwork transports us back to an era filled with epic tales of conquests and adventures. It serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection but can be appreciated by all thanks to Fine Art Finder's dedication to sharing such treasures with the world.
