EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully colored engraving of a Map of China from the 17th century. The map is adorned with inset portraits of Matteo Ricci, an Italian Jesuit priest and missionary, as well as two Chinese figures dressed in traditional costumes. Matteo Ricci was renowned for his significant contributions to cartography during his time in China. His Jesuit maps served as valuable tools for understanding the geography and culture of this vast country. This particular map is based on Ricci's original works and offers a glimpse into the intricate details he captured. The inclusion of the two Chinese costumed figures adds an extra layer of cultural richness to this artwork. Dressed in their traditional attire, they provide insight into the diverse customs and traditions that were prevalent in different regions across China. Measuring at 29.4x36.2 cm, this print allows us to appreciate every intricacy within the engraving with great clarity and detail. It serves as a testament to both Ricci's dedication to mapping China accurately and Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving historical artworks. Displayed against a neutral background, this enchanting piece would make an excellent addition to any art collection or serve as a fascinating conversation starter when displayed prominently in your home or office space.
