EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, as depicted in the manuscript "Ms Fr 2810 f. 72, The Great Khans soldiers take the island of Sypangu". Created by the talented Boucicaut Master and his workshop around 1410-12, this tempera on vellum artwork showcases an intense scene from Marco Polo's legendary voyage. Intriguingly illuminated with vibrant colors and intricate details, the image transports us to a time when Kublai Khan's soldiers launched a daring assault on the island of Sypangu. The composition reveals a bustling port filled with imposing ships and rocky outcrops that add drama to the narrative. Archers stand poised on these rocks, ready to unleash their arrows upon enemy forces defending the city walls. The artist skillfully captures both chaos and precision as troops storm through gates while others engage in fierce combat within the city streets. This miniature provides us with a glimpse into medieval warfare strategies and offers insight into how conquests were carried out during this era. As we admire this remarkable piece from "Livre des Merveilles du Monde" we are reminded of Marco Polo's extraordinary travels along Asia's Silk Road and Spice Route. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and exploration during the 13th and 14th centuries. With its historical significance, meticulous craftsmanship, and vivid storytelling ability, this print is not only visually stunning but also an invaluable artifact that brings ancient tales of adventure back to life
