EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Bietala, fortress of Lama the Great, located in the Kingdom of Lhassa. The illustration is taken from "La Chine illustree" by Athanasius Kircher, a renowned 17th-century Dutch scholar. The image transports us to a time when China's rich history and culture were flourishing. In this scene, we see a bustling town nestled at the foot of majestic mountains and perched on a hilltop. The intricate details captured in this engraving bring to life the vibrant Chinese architecture that adorns every building. In the foreground, a horse-drawn cart traverses through narrow streets lined with traditional houses and shops. It offers us a glimpse into everyday life during that era – people going about their daily routines amidst stunning surroundings. The overall composition exudes an air of grandeur and mystique as it highlights both natural beauty and human ingenuity. This artwork serves as an exquisite testament to Kircher's talent for capturing not only physical landscapes but also cultural nuances. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, we are reminded of China's rich heritage and its ability to captivate generations across centuries. It stands as an enduring symbol of artistic excellence that continues to inspire awe even today.
