Commissioned by the Kangxi Emperor in the late 17th century, The Kangxi Emperor's Southern Inspection Tour tells the story of a journey taken by the Emperor across southern China, chronicling daily life in the towns and countryside along the way. Comprising 12 scrolls which took 6 years to complete, this monumental work served to reinforce the political legitimacy of the Manchu ruler. Ever since its completion, this famous set of scrolls have been a source of wonder for many artists, collectors and connoisseurs, amongst them David Hockney, who was inspired in 1988 to make a film about Scroll VII. Measuring 21-metre long, The Kangxi Emperor's Southern Inspection Tour, Scroll VI was cut into sections after leaving the imperial palace during the final years of the Qing dynasty. These fragments have been reunited only recently following their dispersal, and Scroll VI will now be exhibited in its entirety for the first time in over a century at #SothebysHongKong Autumn Sales preview from 3 to 8 Oct at the #HKCEC .
