EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the poignant moment when Marco Polo, the renowned explorer who spent 25 years in the Orient, is denied entrance to his own ancestral home, Ca' Polo. Published in 1903 by Yule, this scene from history evokes a sense of irony and tragedy as Polo stands at the threshold of his past, only to be turned away.
The intricate details of the engraving bring to life the medieval setting of Venice, with its townhouses and bustling population. The artist skillfully conveys Polo's disappointment and disbelief as he faces rejection from a place that should have welcomed him with open arms.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when exploration was met with skepticism and doubt. Despite all his adventures and discoveries in distant lands, Polo finds himself an outsider in his own hometown.
This print serves as a powerful reminder of the complexities of human nature and society. It prompts us to reflect on themes of belonging, identity, and acceptance. Marco Polo's story continues to resonate through the centuries, reminding us that even those who journey far and wide can still face barriers close to home.
