EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary Marco Polo, a Venetian merchant and explorer from the 14th century. In this image, we witness the moment when Marco Polo and his uncles set off on their extraordinary journey from Venice to the Far East. The foreground of the picture is adorned with depictions of the lands they will visit and the peculiar sights they will encounter along their path. Embarking on their adventure in 1271, these brave explorers traversed the famous Silk Road, finally arriving at Kublai Khan's court after three arduous years. They spent an astonishing 17 years immersing themselves in Chinese culture before eventually returning home to Italy in 1295. It was during his imprisonment by Genoese captors that Marco Polo penned his renowned travel account known as "Il Milione". The image captures not only Marco Polo's remarkable voyage but also highlights elements of medieval life such as majestic sailing ships, bustling cityscapes, and vibrant landscapes. The presence of birds soaring overhead symbolizes freedom and discovery while emphasizing man's desire to explore new horizons. This print serves as a visual testament to Marco Polo's courage, curiosity, and determination as he ventured into unknown territories during a time when exploration was both perilous and awe-inspiring. It stands as a reminder of humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge and our innate need to push boundaries in search of greater understanding about our world.
