The Emperor Greeting The Triumphant Troops Outside of the Capital, 1772
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from the 18th century, we witness a momentous event in Chinese history. The image depicts Emperor Qianlong, also known as Hongli or Kien Long, standing tall and proud as he greets his triumphant troops outside the capital. This powerful engraving captures the essence of victory and strength. The scene is filled with energy and anticipation as soldiers on horseback fill the battlefield. Their banners flutter in the wind, proudly displaying their allegiance to their emperor. The horses' hooves pound against the ground, creating an atmosphere of urgency and determination. Emperor Qianlong himself exudes authority and charisma. Dressed in regal attire, he stands at the forefront of his army with unwavering confidence. His presence commands respect from both friend and foe alike. This historic moment symbolizes not only military triumph but also national pride for China. It showcases the might of its armed forces under Emperor Qianlong's leadership during a time when Manchuria faced numerous adversaries. Francois Denis Nee's masterful etching beautifully captures this significant event from "Les Conquetes de l'Empereur de la Chine" (The Conquests of the Emperor of China). As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are transported back to a time when emperors ruled with absolute power and armies fought valiantly for their country's honor.
