EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the First Battle between the Chinese Army and that of the Eleuths in 1759. The image, taken from plate 10 of a series of prints representing the conquests of Qianlong, the Emperor of China, showcases a detailed depiction of intense fighting across a river. Engraved by Nicolas Delaunay in 1772, this masterpiece measures an impressive 57x91 cm and belongs to a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. The artist behind this engraving is Jean Damascene (also known as An Tai), who lived until his death in 1781. The scene depicted portrays archers engaged in combat against tartar kamlucks while two hot chom warriors fiercely defend their territory. Tatars can be seen alongside soldiers and cannons, creating an atmosphere charged with tension and determination. This historical artwork offers viewers a glimpse into one of China's significant military campaigns during the reign of Emperor Qianlong. It serves as both an artistic representation and documentation of crucial events that shaped Chinese history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for all to appreciate its beauty and historical significance. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded once again that art has the power to transport us back through time, allowing us to witness extraordinary moments like this battle unfold before our eyes.
