EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite " (An administrative) Map of the 13 Provinces of the North and South Capitals (of China)" dating back to the early 18th century. Created by Chinese School artists, this black ink and colored paper masterpiece measures a remarkable 185x164 cm. The map, derived from earlier works by Matteo Ricci and Liang Chou, offers a comprehensive view of China's provinces during that period. Its intricate details highlight the cultural richness and internal trade prevalent in "renchen year" as reported in its general title. Displayed against a backdrop of Asian art, this close-up shot allows us to appreciate every stroke made with precision on paper. The absence of people emphasizes the focus on geography and administration rather than human activity. The use of vibrant colors adds depth to each province, while carefully written text complements the visual narrative. This artwork not only serves as a navigational tool but also provides valuable insight into commerce and trade practices during the eighteenth century. Mounted on paper for preservation purposes, this photograph captures both the beauty and historical significance of this Chinese painting. With no commercial intentions mentioned by Bridgeman Images, we are free to admire this stunning piece purely for its artistic value.
