EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable historical moment captured in the artwork "Ms Fr 2810 f. 72, The Great Khans soldiers take the island of Sypangu". Painted by the talented Boucicaut Master and his workshop around 1410-12, this tempera on vellum masterpiece is now housed at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The scene depicted here transports us back to an era of exploration and conquest. It portrays the awe-inspiring event when soldiers under the command of Kublai Khan successfully seize the island of Sypangu, one of Japan's many islands. This significant feat was part of Marco Polo's extensive travels through Asia during the 13th century. Every detail within this illuminated manuscript comes alive with vivid colors and intricate brushwork. From towering ships sailing into a bustling harbor to archers strategically positioned atop city walls, every element tells a story of bravery and adventure. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of Marco Polo's legendary journey along the Silk Road but also other notable explorers like Odorico de Pordone and Ricaldo da Monte di Croce. Their collective records have contributed immensely to our understanding of distant lands during medieval times. With its rich symbolism and meticulous craftsmanship, "Ms Fr 2810 f. 72" serves as a testament to human curiosity and resilience throughout history. It invites us to embark on our own voyage through time as we explore different cultures and expand our knowledge about our world's diverse pasts.
