EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent facade of the Nantang Cathedral, a symbol of Catholicism in China. Built on the historic site of Matteo Ricci's house, this architectural marvel pays homage to the father of Catholicism in China, who lived from 1552 to 1610. The engraving, based on a drawing by Emile Theodore Therond and featured in "Le Tour du Monde, Nouveau journal des Voyages" edited by Edouard Charton in Paris in 1864, beautifully captures the grandeur and intricacy of this religious structure. The image transports us back in time as we admire the detailed craftsmanship that went into constructing this cathedral. Its exterior view reveals an imposing presence with its towering spires and ornate decorations. The fusion between Chinese and Western architectural styles is evident here, showcasing a harmonious blend of cultures. As we gaze at this historical snapshot through Leonard de Selva's lens, we are reminded not only of Matteo Ricci's significant contributions but also of the enduring power and influence of Christianity across different continents. This print serves as a testament to both human creativity and faith—a visual representation that transcends time and borders.
