EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Trevor Page from EyeUbiquitous, we are transported to China's Jiangsu Yangzhou, where a magnificent bronze lion sculpture proudly stands outside the Marco Polo Museum. This striking artwork is actually a replica of the famous lion statue found in Venice, Italy - the birthplace of Marco Polo himself. As we delve into history, it becomes evident that Marco Polo played an important role in both cities. Serving as a municipal official in Yangzhou during Kubilai Khan's reign from 1282 to 1287, he left an indelible mark on this ancient Chinese city. The sculpture serves as a reminder of his connection and influence on Yangzhou's past. The image showcases the intricacy and grandeur of the bronze lion against a dominant grey brick wall backdrop. Its regal presence commands attention while symbolizing strength and power - qualities often associated with lions. This photograph not only captures the essence of travel but also invites us to explore different cultures and historical connections between distant lands. It highlights how exploration can bridge gaps between nations and create lasting legacies that transcend time and borders. Whether you're an avid traveler or simply fascinated by history, this print transports you to two worlds simultaneously – China's vibrant Jiangsu province and Italy's enchanting Venice – all through one remarkable piece of art.
