DescriptionKublai Khan.jpg |
元世祖 忽必烈 English: A painting of Kublai Khan as he would have appeared in the 1260s (although this painting is a posthumous one executed shortly after his death in February of 1294, by a Nepalese artist and astronomer Anige). The painting is done in the Chinese portrait style. It is now located in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan; colors and ink on silk, 59.4 by 47 cm. Kublai's white robes reflect his desired and symbolic role as a religious Mongol shaman.
On pages 66 to 67 of Morris Rossabi's Khubilai Khan: His Life and Times (paperback), he has this to say of the portrait and of a later portrait in 1280 of a hunt, also seen in the English Wikipedia article for Kublai Khan: In the Artibus Asiae article The Portraits of Khubilai Khan and Chabi by Anige (1245-1306), a Nepali Artist at the Yuan Court, Anning Jing provides the history of this painting and that of Kublai's wife Chabi, painted by a Nepalese artist named Anige, who was a confidant of Kublai and was commissioned to oversee several public works projects as well. |
