EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Chinese Emperor Kangxi, who reigned from 1652 to 1722 during the Qing Dynasty. The engraving was skillfully created by Athanasius Kircher, a renowned Jesuit scholar and Orientalist from Germany in the 17th century. In this exquisite artwork, Emperor Kangxi is depicted as both the Chinese Emperor and Supreme Ruler of the Tartars, showcasing his immense power and authority over these territories. His regal presence emanates through his dignified posture and majestic robes. The intricate details in this engraving highlight Kircher's exceptional talent as an artist. Every line and stroke captures the essence of Kangxi's imperial splendor while paying homage to Chinese culture. This particular print comes from "China Monumentis, qua sacris qua profanis" a significant work published in 1667 that documented various aspects of China's rich heritage. It offers viewers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of one of China's most influential rulers. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness an era where emperors held absolute power and shaped history with their wisdom and leadership. It serves as a testament to both Kangxi's legacy as well as Kircher's dedication to preserving cultural treasures through artistry. Overall, this print encapsulates not only historical significance but also artistic brilliance - reminding us of the enduring allure that lies within ancient masterpieces like this one.
