EDITORS COMMENTS
The Golden King, a captivating illustration from 'The Travels of Marco Polo' by Marco Polo and Rustichello da Pisa, takes us on a journey back to the 13th century. This exquisite print, part of a private collection, is believed to be based on an ancient manuscript found in The Royal Asiatic Society Library. In this mesmerizing artwork created by the Persian School, we are introduced to what is thought to be an Emperor of the Kin dynasty in China. Adorned in opulent robes and an elaborate headdress, the ruler exudes power and authority. His regal stature is enhanced by his seated position as he gazes confidently into the distance. Every detail has been meticulously captured in this lithograph: from the intricate patterns on his robe to his distinguished moustache that adds character to his face. The artist's skillful rendering transports us directly into the presence of this majestic figure. As we admire 'The Golden King, ' we are reminded of Marco Polo's incredible adventures through Asia and his encounters with different cultures. This illustration serves as a visual testament to Polo's tales and offers us a glimpse into one of China's most fascinating dynasties. This remarkable piece not only showcases artistic excellence but also provides valuable historical insights into ancient Chinese civilization. It stands as a testament to human creativity across time.
