EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Ms Fr 2810, The Great Khan in Peking" from the renowned Livre des Merveilles du Monde. Created by the talented Boucicaut Master and his workshop around 1410-12, this tempera on vellum artwork is housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The image depicts a majestic scene that transports us back to ancient times. It is believed to portray either Kublai Khan or Genghis Khan, two legendary figures of history. This masterpiece is part of a collection documenting various travels in the Orient, including those of famous explorers like Marco Polo and Sir John de Mandeville. Intricate details are brought to life through exquisite illumination techniques. The composition features an impressive castle fortress surrounded by beautiful gardens and towering walls. Horses can be seen galloping alongside dogs while hunters plot their next move. The presence of wildlife adds an element of liveliness to this medieval scene. As we gaze at this remarkable piece, we are transported along the Silk Road – a historic trade route connecting Asia with Europe during ancient times. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural exchange between civilizations and highlights the importance of exploration and discovery throughout history. This print captures not only artistic brilliance but also offers glimpses into different eras and cultures that have shaped our world today.
