EDITORS COMMENTS
This framed wall hanging captures a mesmerizing scene from the 19th century, showcasing Forts Zeelandia and Provintia along with the vibrant City of Tainan in China. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, but their talent for capturing intricate details is evident. The image depicts a bustling cityscape, with Forts Zeelandia and Provintia standing tall as symbols of power and protection. These fortresses were built by the Dutch during their colonial rule in Taiwan, serving as vital defense structures against potential invaders. The use of ink and color on deerskin adds an exquisite touch to this historical artwork. Every stroke seems to come alive, highlighting the architectural beauty of these forts amidst the busy streets below. The choice of colors brings vibrancy to the scene, reflecting the lively atmosphere that once filled Tainan. As we gaze upon this piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), we are transported back in time to witness a significant period in Chinese history. This print serves as a reminder of Taiwan's rich cultural heritage and its complex past.
