EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, captures a profound moment in the annals of religious history as it depicts the Italian Jesuit missionary Matteo Ricci (1552-1610) and his Chinese convert, Paul Ly (Li Zhizao, 1562-1630), in the bustling streets of 17th century China. The image, estimated to date back to 1621, offers a rare glimpse into the early days of the Jesuit mission in China and the groundbreaking work of Father Ricci in bridging the cultural divide between the East and the West. Born in Macerata, Italy, Matteo Ricci arrived in China in 1583, and over the course of his 27-year stay, he became a trusted advisor to the Chinese Emperor Wanli. Ricci's approach to missionary work was unique in that he embraced Chinese culture and learned the language and customs, earning him the respect and admiration of the Chinese people. Paul Ly, a native Chinese scholar, was a pivotal figure in the spread of Christianity in China. He converted to Christianity under the influence of Ricci and became a devoted disciple, translating Western texts into Chinese and serving as a bridge between the two cultures. The photograph captures the deep bond between the two men, their heads bowed in conversation, their hands clasped in a gesture of mutual respect and understanding. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the transformative power of interfaith dialogue and the enduring impact of cultural exchange. It invites us to reflect on the complexities of religious history and the rich tapestry of human connections that have shaped our world. With its timeless beauty and historical significance, this print is a must-have for scholars, historians, and anyone with an interest in the intersection of religion, culture, and history in Asia.
