EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and opulence of a Chinese Emperor's procession, showcasing the principal attendants in all their regal splendor. The illustration, taken from Giulio Ferrario's renowned work "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" transports us back to the early 19th century when this colored engraving was published. The scene is filled with an entourage of servants and courtiers adorned in exquisite traditional costumes, each bearing ornate pennants and umbrellas that add to the majestic atmosphere. The attention to detail is remarkable as every figure exudes elegance and grace, reflecting the ceremonial importance of this occasion. Amongst the attendants, we see bearers carrying imperial standards while others hold gongs, symbolizing both power and harmony within the royal court. The presence of parasols further emphasizes their high status as they protect these esteemed individuals from the sun's rays. This image offers a glimpse into ancient Chinese culture and customs during formal ceremonies held at court. It reminds us of China's rich history steeped in tradition and reverence for its imperial rulers. Preserved within a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this print serves as a testament to Gaetano Zancon's artistic talent in capturing such intricate details through his engravings. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection today, it allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also gain insight into China's vibrant past.
