EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Dance of the Mewlewis Dervishes in Constantinople, 1811" takes us back to a mystical and spiritual moment in history. The image captures a religious dance performed by the Mewlewis Dervishes, a Sufi sect known for their intense devotion and ecstatic rituals. In this enchanting scene, we witness the dervishes engaged in their hypnotic whirling dance within the sacred courtyard. Their flowing white robes create an ethereal effect as they spin with fervour and abandon. Each movement is filled with deep meaning and symbolism, representing their connection to God and seeking divine bliss through prayer. The atmosphere exudes an air of tranquillity mixed with profound spiritual energy. It is impossible not to be drawn into this mesmerizing spectacle that transcends time and space. The dervishes' trance-like state transports them beyond earthly boundaries as they surrender themselves completely to their faith. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from the 19th century, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage of Constantinople (now Istanbul) and its significance as a center for Islamic spirituality. This print serves as both a visual feast for the eyes and a window into another world—a world where religion intertwines with mysticism, where ritual becomes transcendence. Through this image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are granted access to an ancient tradition that continues to inspire awe today—reminding us of our shared humanity's capacity for devotion
