EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned painting "The Emperor of China with a plough" by Christian Bernhard Rode. The artwork, measuring 91.5x103.4 cm, is housed in the Staatliche Museen in Berlin, Germany. In this masterpiece, Rode beautifully captures a significant moment in Chinese history and culture. Titled "L'empereur chinois labourant le premier sillon pour honorer l'agriculture" (The Emperor of China ploughs the first furrow to honor agriculture), the painting depicts an emperor diligently working on his fields with a plough. Set against a picturesque landscape, the scene exudes tranquility and harmony between man and nature. The emperor's regal attire contrasts with his humble task, symbolizing his commitment to honoring agriculture as the backbone of society. Accompanied by an ox and shaded by a sunshade carried by servants, this image represents not only agricultural labor but also power dynamics within Chinese society during that era. Rode's attention to detail brings life to every element present – from the intricate mechanism of the plough itself to the vibrant colors that illuminate both nature and folklore surrounding it. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art from 18th-century Germany, we are transported into an orientalist world where kings rule vast empires like China while remaining deeply connected to their land and people through farming traditions.
