EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant scene of Buddhist monks in hats, captured through the lens of an English School artist from the 20th century. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration in Sir George Scott's book "Peeps at Great Explorers: Marco Polo" published by A & C Black Ltd in London, 1927. The monks, adorned in striking red robes and distinctive headwear, exude an aura of tranquility and wisdom. Their presence takes us back to the Middle Ages, specifically the 13th century when Marco Polo embarked on his legendary expedition to China. This visual representation offers us a glimpse into the exploration and cultural exchange that occurred during this time. Buddhism, being deeply rooted in Chinese religion and culture, played a significant role throughout Asia during this period. The monks depicted here are known as lamas or Buddhist practitioners who dedicated their lives to spiritual enlightenment. The intricate details captured within this color lithograph bring forth a sense of reverence for these ancient traditions. As we admire this artwork, we are reminded of the rich history and profound impact Buddhism has had on Asian societies over centuries. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also serves as a window into our collective past—a testament to human curiosity and exploration across cultures.
