EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Nanjing desheng tu (Victory at Nanjing)" takes us back to the 19th century, during the Boxer Rebellion in China. The colour woodblock print, created by an anonymous Chinese artist, depicts a pivotal moment in this historic uprising. The image showcases traditional motifs and Asian aesthetics while capturing the intensity of the conflict between rebellious insurgents known as "Boxers" and Chinese troops. Both sides confront each other with determination and courage, ready to fight for their cause. Intriguingly composed, this artwork transports us to Nanking (now Nanjing), where armed forces clash amidst a chaotic battle scene. The rebels' fervor is palpable as they rise against perceived injustices, challenging established authority. Through intricate details and vibrant colors, the print not only captures a significant historical event but also serves as a testament to human resilience and the pursuit of freedom. It reminds us that throughout history, people have fought valiantly against oppression and injustice. Preserved within a private collection today, this remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on past struggles while appreciating the artistic mastery behind its creation. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of our shared humanity and the enduring spirit that drives individuals to stand up for what they believe in – even when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds.
