EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Victory at Heluo Heshi" is a part of the renowned series called "Battle Scenes of the Quelling of Rebellions in the Western Regions". Commissioned by Emperor Qianlong during his reign in the Qing Dynasty, these etchings vividly depict the bravery and valor displayed by his generals and soldiers while suppressing rebellions in present-day Xinjiang province, also known as Central Asia. The meticulous craftsmanship of Jean Denis Attiret, a French artist residing in China at that time, brings to life this historical moment. The etching showcases an intense battle scene with intricate details that transport viewers back to this significant event. As a testament to Emperor Qianlong's appreciation and pride for his military might, he personally added poems to each etching. This particular print captures the triumph at Heluo Heshi, where victory was achieved through sheer determination and strategic brilliance. The composition exudes energy as soldiers clash amidst swirling dust clouds and billowing banners. It serves as a visual reminder of the strength and resilience exhibited by both sides during this tumultuous period. Preserved within an album format, this rare artifact from 18th-century China offers us a glimpse into history's pages.
