EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases scenes taken from a manuscript of the Maqamat of Al-Hariri, engraved by Lestel. Published by Lemercier in Paris, this color lithograph is a remarkable piece of art from the Persian School dating back to the 13th century. The image transports us to an exotic world filled with vibrant colors and intricate details. In the foreground, we see a camel herder leading his majestic herd through a desert landscape. The herder's embroidered robes and turban add to the richness of his character, reflecting the cultural diversity present in this medieval Islamic setting. In the distance, we observe an assembly or meeting taking place under a vast sky. Pilgrims gather together as part of their journey towards pilgrimage, known as Hajj. Among them stands Abu Zayd, a central figure in this picaresque story depicted within the manuscript. The illuminated pages of this ancient text come alive through this photo print, allowing us to glimpse into another time and place. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and cultural heritage. This artwork from Bridgeman Images captures not only the beauty but also the significance of manuscripts like these that have preserved stories for centuries. It invites us to appreciate both their artistic value and their role in preserving historical narratives for generations to come.
