EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Moulay Ismail Ibn Sharif, 1719" offers a glimpse into the regal world of Moroccan history. Created by an anonymous German artist in the 18th century, this portrait depicts Moulay Ismail Ibn Sharif (1672-1727), the second ruler of the Moroccan Alaouite dynasty. In this half-length portrayal, Moulay Ismail exudes power and authority as he gazes confidently at the viewer. Dressed in traditional North African attire, his elaborate costume and turban reflect his status as a king. Clutched firmly in his hand is a scepter, symbolizing his sovereignty over Morocco. The intricate details captured by the skilled engraver bring to life every nuance of Moulay Ismail's countenance - from the lines etched on his face to the intensity in his eyes. The artist masterfully captures both strength and wisdom within this single image. As we admire this print from a private collection, we are transported back to an era when kings ruled with absolute authority and commanded respect from their subjects. It serves as a reminder of Morocco's rich cultural heritage and its long-standing tradition of royal lineage. This remarkable artwork allows us to connect with history through visual storytelling; it invites us to delve deeper into the fascinating life and reign of Moulay Ismail Ibn Sharif – a monarch whose legacy continues to shape Morocco today.
