EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene from "The Maqamat" by Al-Hariri, a renowned Persian poet and writer from the 11th century. Titled "Thief taking his Loot" this exquisite gouache on vellum artwork takes us back to the 13th century, immersing us in an intricate world of medieval Arabic storytelling. In this miniature masterpiece, we witness a daring thief making off with his ill-gotten gains. The architectural details of the house he is robbing are meticulously depicted, adding depth and realism to the composition. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow creates an atmosphere of suspense and intrigue as we follow the thief's stealthy escape. "The Maqamat" is known for its picaresque tales that revolve around Abu Zayd, a witty trickster who navigates various adventures during his pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj). This particular maqama (chapter) explores themes of theft and deception, capturing our imagination with its rich narrative. Preserved at the Institute of Oriental Studies in St. Petersburg, Russia, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and cultural significance of Islamic art. Through its illuminated colors and meticulous attention to detail, it transports us into another time and place – inviting us to delve into centuries-old stories filled with mystery and excitement.
