EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Plunder Of A Temple In The Forbidden City In Beijing" transports us back in time to witness a shocking event that unfolded in the heart of China's imperial capital. Created by Italian illustrator Achille Beltrame, this colour lithograph captures the chaos and audacity of looting within the sacred grounds of the Forbidden City. Intriguingly, this illustration was originally published in Courier Sunday on 16 December 1900, shedding light on an act of theft that occurred during a tumultuous period in Chinese history. As we gaze upon the image, we are confronted with a scene filled with European women and their servants shamelessly pillaging valuable treasures from within the temple walls. The stolen loot includes intricate tapestries, statues, silks, and other priceless artifacts representing centuries-old Chinese culture. It is both fascinating and disheartening to see how these colonial powers treated China as their personal shopping street while disregarding its rich heritage. Beltrame's attention to detail brings each character to life – from elegant ladies wielding parasols amidst their plundering spree to indigenous figures helplessly witnessing their cultural heritage being stripped away. This artwork serves as a stark reminder of the consequences when power imbalances collide with greed. "The Plunder Of A Temple In The Forbidden City In Beijing" not only showcases Beltrame's artistic talent but also invites contemplation about historical injustices committed against nations under colonial rule.
