EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Ms Fr 2810, The fleet of the crusaders" from Livre des merveilles, a remarkable manuscript created between 1410-12 by the Boucicaut Master and his workshop. Painted with tempera on vellum, this stunning piece is housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The image depicts a grand fleet of crusaders sailing across vast waters, evoking a sense of adventure and historical significance. It is an illumination from Livre des merveilles by Marco Polo, highlighting his legendary travels through Asia along the Silk Road. The artwork beautifully captures the military might and determination of these medieval explorers as they embarked on their voyage to distant lands. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, it transports viewers back in time to an era filled with exploration and discovery. This masterpiece serves as a visual representation of Marco Polo's famous travelogue "Il Milione" also known as "The Travels of Marco Polo". It provides valuable insights into European perspectives on Asian cultures during that period. As we admire this exquisite print, we are reminded of the historic connections between Italy and Venice specifically. The Venetians played a significant role in maritime trade routes such as the Spice Route during this time.
