EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning miniature painting, created in Persia around 1307, depicts Emperor Genghis Khan (1162-1227) receiving tribute from the Mongols after the establishment of the Mongol Empire in 1206. The image is taken from the first section of the Compendium of Chronicles (Jami al-Tawarikh), a historical work edited around 1430. Genghis Khan, a man of immense power and charisma, is shown seated on a throne, surrounded by a group of kneeling Mongol warriors. They present him with various offerings, symbolizing their loyalty and submission. The emperor wears a traditional Mongol hat adorned with animal fur and a long, flowing robe. His stern expression conveys his authority and strength. The scene is set against a vertical, upright background, with rich colors and intricate details that are characteristic of Persian art. The painting showcases the Islamic and Persian influences on Mongol culture during this period. The East and Middle Eastern regions were integral to the Mongol Empire's expansion, and this painting is a testament to the cultural exchange that took place during that time. This beautiful and historic artwork is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian or world history, and its vertical orientation makes it a striking and unique piece for display. The image is from the National Library of France, and its intricate details and vibrant colors make it a captivating and educational addition to any home or office.
