Painting Description
The "Great Walls of Peking" is an illustration featured in the extensive work "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" by Giulio Ferrario, published in the 1820s-30s by Gaetano Zancon. This ambitious publication is a comprehensive survey of the costumes, customs, and cultures of various civilizations throughout history. Ferrario, an Italian scholar and librarian, meticulously compiled and edited this multi-volume series, which is celebrated for its detailed and vivid illustrations that provide a visual complement to the descriptive texts.
The illustration of the Great Walls of Peking is a notable example of the artistic and ethnographic value of Ferrario's work. It captures the grandeur and architectural prowess of the Great Wall of China, one of the most iconic and historically significant structures in the world. The depiction is not only an artistic representation but also serves as an educational tool, offering 19th-century European audiences a glimpse into the distant and exotic landscapes of China.
Ferrario's "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" is distinguished by its attempt to document and preserve the diverse cultural heritages of different peoples. The inclusion of the Great Walls of Peking aligns with the broader objective of the work, which is to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of global cultures. The illustration is characterized by its attention to detail and accuracy, reflecting the scholarly rigor and artistic skill that Ferrario and his collaborators brought to the project.
The publication of "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" during the early 19th century coincided with a period of growing interest in ethnography and the study of non-European societies. Ferrario's work, including the illustration of the Great Walls of Peking, remains a valuable historical document, offering insights into the perceptions and representations of different cultures during that era. The illustration continues to be appreciated for its historical significance and artistic merit, contributing to the enduring legacy of Ferrario's monumental work.
