EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Brothers Nicolo and Matteo Polo, who were not only the uncle and father of the renowned explorer Marco Polo but also played a significant role in his adventurous life. In this particular scene, captured from "The Book of Wonders" by Marco Polo himself, we witness their arrival in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. Illustrated by the talented Master of Boucicaut around 1410, this exquisite miniature offers us a glimpse into the brothers' journey through Central Asia during the 13th century. The intricate details depict an intriguing conversation between these brave men and local inhabitants against a backdrop of stunning architecture. As they traverse unfamiliar lands on horseback, one can't help but marvel at their determination to explore uncharted territories. The encounter with Bukhara's vibrant cityscape adds another layer of wonder to their expedition. From fortified castles to humble dwellings, every structure tells a story about life in this part of the world during that era. The presence of horses emphasizes not only their importance as means of transportation but also highlights the connection between humans and animals throughout history. This snapshot encapsulates both exploration and coexistence with wildlife. Preserved within Ms 2810 at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, this photograph allows us to appreciate not just Marco Polo's incredible adventures but also serves as a reminder that curiosity has no boundaries when it comes to discovering new horizons.
