EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Kang Tsi, the Manchu Emperor of China during the 17th century. The image is a hand-coloured engraving from the "Receuil des Estampes" a collection representing various ranks and dignities across nations, published in 1780 by Pierre Duflos. Kang Tsi's full-length portrait exudes power and authority as he stands tall in his vibrant yellow dress. Not only was Kang Tsi known for his political prowess, but he also supervised the creation of a systematic lexicon of the Chinese language. This intellectual achievement highlights his commitment to knowledge and education. The yellow color of his attire holds significant symbolism in Chinese culture, representing royalty and prosperity. It is fascinating to observe how this officially recognized Christian leader embraced both traditional Chinese customs and Western influences. Through this remarkable photo print, we catch a glimpse into the life of an influential figure who left an indelible mark on Chinese history. The attention to detail in this engraving brings forth an appreciation for the artistry involved in capturing such regal elegance. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, we are reminded of Kang Tsi's lasting legacy as one of China's most prominent emperors during a time when tradition met innovation with extraordinary results.
