EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a mesmerizing scene from the Livre des Merveilles du Monde, showcasing "Ms Fr 2810 f. 37, The Great Khans palace". Painted by the renowned Boucicaut Master and his workshop in tempera on vellum around 1410-12, this masterpiece takes us back to the era of Kublai Khan (1214-94). Immersing ourselves in the travels of Marco Polo and other explorers like Odorico de Pordone and Ricaldo da Monte di Croce, we witness an exquisite depiction of Khanabalik (now Beijing), known as one of Asia's most magnificent cities. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing the grandeur of Kublai Khan's palace with its towering walls adorned with castellations. As our eyes wander through this medieval marvel, we spot a variety of fascinating elements: a majestic lion guarding the entrance gate, monkeys frolicking amidst lush gardens, and exotic birds soaring above. The presence of a golden cow adds an air of mystique to this regal setting. This illuminated manuscript transports us along ancient trade routes such as the Silk Road and Spice Route while offering glimpses into Venetian architecture and Italian exploration during that period. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic treasure. With its vibrant colors and intricate details carefully preserved in this print by Bridgeman Images, "Ms Fr 2810 f. 37" invites viewers to embark on their own journey through time – exploring distant lands where emperors ruled with scimitars held high and wonders awaited at every turn.
