Notes |
English:
A painting of Shizu, better known as 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. Kublai's white robes reflect his desired and symbolic role as a religious Mongol shaman.

On pages 66 to 67 of Rossabi's Khubilai Khan: His Life and Times , 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 [2] : 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 (also known as Araniko), who was a confidant of Kublai and was commissioned to oversee several public works projects as well.
