Namkun, 1609: A Glimpse into the Busy Harbor Life of a Chinese City during the Baroque Era This etching, titled 'Namkun, 1609,' is an enchanting window into the bustling harbor scene of a Chinese city during the 17th century. The image, created by an unknown artist, is part of the 'View of a Chinese Port Cities' series and is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The black and white print showcases an intricately detailed waterfront, with numerous boats and sailboats docked along the shoreline. The Dutch low country influence is evident in the Baroque architectural style of the buildings, which line the harbor's edge. The city's houses, with their ornate facades and tiled roofs, are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the time. Geographical features such as hills, mountains, and a winding river add depth and dimension to the scene, while figures of people and merchants can be seen engaging in trade and transportation activities. The boats, laden with goods, are a testament to the thriving maritime economy of the region during the 17th century. The print's title, 'Namkun, 1609,' is a reminder of the historical significance of this image, which offers a unique perspective into the daily life of a Chinese port city during the Baroque era. The unknown artist's masterful use of etching techniques brings this vibrant scene to life, transporting us back in time to an era of exploration, trade, and cultural exchange.
