De geallieerde troepen vallen Peking aan; de Japanse troepen voor de poort van Chaoyang. Possibly 1900 - 1908

"De geallieerde troepen vallen Peking aan; de Japanse troepen voor de poort van Chaoyang" is a woodblock print by Japanese artist Kajita Hanko, created sometime between 1900 and 1908. The artwork depicts a scene from the Boxer Rebellion, a conflict in China involving foreign powers, including Japan. Hanko's print showcases a dramatic, almost cinematic scene, with a dynamic composition highlighting the victorious Japanese forces. The smoke-filled sky and the imposing city gate in the background add to the sense of chaos and scale of the battle. The print, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the turbulent period of the Boxer Rebellion and its impact on Japanese art.
