EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Ms 2810 f. 38, The palace of the Great Khans son in Peking" from the Livre des Merveilles du Monde, a medieval manuscript dating back to the early 15th century. Painted by the talented Boucicaut Master and his workshop, this tempera on vellum artwork takes us on a visual journey through time. The image transports us to ancient Peking (now Beijing), where we catch a glimpse of the majestic palace belonging to Togan, the son of Kubilai Khan. As we explore this enchanting scene, we are immersed in an atmosphere filled with grandeur and opulence. The landscape surrounding the palace is breathtakingly beautiful, featuring lush greenery and a serene stream flowing gently nearby. Horses can be seen elegantly trotting along as their riders engage in falconry and hunting activities. This depiction offers us a window into both royal leisure pursuits and everyday life during that era. As we delve deeper into this historical masterpiece, it becomes evident that Marco Polo's travels heavily influenced its creation. The Silk Road trade route is referenced here, highlighting its significance for cultural exchange between Asia and Europe. Overall, this print not only captures our attention but also sparks our imagination about life in ancient Peking under Mongol rule. It serves as a reminder of how art can transport us across centuries while preserving history for generations to come.
