EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning miniature artwork titled "Scenes of anthropophagy and idolatry in Sumatra". Created by an unknown artist in the 15th century, this piece is taken from Marco Polo's travelogue. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the customs and traditions of Sumatra during that time. The scene depicted in this miniature transports us to the exotic landscapes of Indonesia. A horse stands majestically at the center, symbolizing strength and power. Surrounding it are various figures engaged in acts of anthropophagy (cannibalism) and idolatry, highlighting the cultural practices prevalent in Sumatra. The artist's skillful use of illumination adds depth and dimension to each element within the composition. Every stroke captures not only the physical characteristics but also conveys emotions and narratives unique to this ancient culture. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are reminded of Marco Polo's incredible journey through Asia during his lifetime. This artwork serves as a window into a distant past, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic brilliance. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this rare gem continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide. Through Luisa Ricciarini's lens, we can now enjoy a high-quality reproduction that ensures its beauty endures for generations to come.
