EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "View of Tiruchirapalli, capital of the Kingdom of Madurai in India," is an exquisite work of art from the general history of the missions from the thirteenth century to the present day, authored by the renowned French historian, Mathieu-Richard-Auguste Henrion, Baron of (1805-1862). The image, created in 1847, originally in French and later translated into Spanish, showcases the breathtaking landscape of Tiruchirappalli, a city rich in history and culture located in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Situated on the banks of the Kaveri and Kollidam rivers, Tiruchirappalli, also known as Trichy, was once the capital city of the powerful Kingdom of Madurai. The city's name is derived from the Tamil words 'Thiru' meaning holy and 'Chirappalli' meaning the place of the lord Jaina, reflecting its religious significance. Henrion's meticulous etching depicts the city's grandeur, with its imposing fortresses, temples, and palaces standing proud against the backdrop of lush greenery and serene water bodies. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when Tiruchirappalli was a thriving center of art, culture, and commerce, attracting traders, travelers, and missionaries from across the world. The etching is a testament to Henrion's exceptional skills as a historian and artist, providing us with a valuable visual record of India's rich history and the role of Tiruchirappalli in shaping it. This work is currently housed in the Barcelona University Library, adding to its historical significance and value as an important piece of Asian art and history.
