EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Tientsin Accord or Li-Fournier Convention, also known as the Tientsin Agreement. Captured in 1884 by an unknown artist and now part of a private collection, this engraving immortalizes the momentous event that ended the conflict between France and China over sovereignty in Tonkin. The image depicts two prominent figures at the center: Li Hongzhang (Li Hung Chang or Li-Hung-Chiang), a distinguished Chinese statesman, and Francois Ernest Fournier, a French diplomat. Their presence symbolizes the convergence of two powerful nations negotiating for peace amidst colonial ambitions. Intricately detailed with black and white strokes, this engraving offers a glimpse into Asian history during an era marked by international relations and colonialism. It serves as a testament to Vietnam's struggle for independence within Indochina while shedding light on China's complex relationship with foreign powers. Stefano Bianchetti has masterfully preserved this significant moment through his artistry. The print not only captures political dynamics but also highlights cultural nuances embedded within Vietnamese, Chinese, and French identities. As we delve into this piece from Fine Art Finder, let us reflect upon how historical events shape our present-day world. May it serve as a reminder of diplomacy's power to bridge divides and foster understanding among nations striving for sovereignty and self-determination.
