EDITORS COMMENTS
Athanasius Kircher (1601/1602-1680), a German Jesuit scholar, is depicted in this engraving from his seminal work "China Monumentis, qua sacris qua profanis" (Monuments of China, both Sacred and Profane), published in 1667. The image showcases Kircher's extensive knowledge of China, its culture, and its natural wonders. In this particular illustration, he highlights the cultivation of tea, a significant aspect of Chinese agriculture and daily life. The scene is set in an imperial Chinese garden, with a tea plantation in the background. An animal, possibly a monkey, is shown picking tea leaves, while a scholar, dressed in Eastern attire, is seen writing in a book. A European man, identified as Kircher himself, observes the scene with great interest. The Baroque style of the engraving adds an ornate and grandiose touch to the image. Kircher was a polymath who made significant contributions to various fields, including botany, literature, and Oriental studies. His works were widely read in Europe during the modern age, bridging the gap between European and Asian cultures. This engraving is a testament to his extensive research and the impact of his work on the European understanding of China and its customs.
