EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ms 2810 f. 67, The city of Kinsai, from the Livre des Merveilles du Monde, a masterpiece created by the renowned Boucicaut Master and his workshop in the early 15th century. Painted with tempera on vellum, this medieval manuscript offers a glimpse into the enchanting city of Kinsai (also known as Lin'an), located near the Qiantang River in China. The Livre des Merveilles du Monde is a collection of travel accounts that includes narratives from famous explorers such as Marco Polo and Odorico de Pordone. It serves as an invaluable record of their journeys along the Silk Road and their encounters with various Asian cultures. In this particular illustration, we are transported to Hangzhou, where intricate bridges span over picturesque canals adorned with vibrant rooftops. The architectural beauty is illuminated by delicate details and exquisite craftsmanship. As we admire this miniature artwork, it becomes evident how trade routes like the Spice Route connected different empires during that time period. This image not only captures the essence of Chinese urban life but also highlights cultural exchanges between Europe and Asia. Through its rich symbolism and historical significance, this print invites us to embark on a visual journey through time – exploring ancient civilizations while appreciating art's power to transcend borders and connect diverse cultures across centuries.
