Rahman, a name that echoes through history and art. From the Battle of Clavijo in 1753-1762, depicted by Andres Gines de Aguirre, to the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in 1977, Rahman's influence spans centuries. Abdur Rahman Khan, a figure shrouded in power and mystery, leaves his mark on our collective memory. The Battle of Tours or Battle of Poitiers in October 732 is forever etched into our minds as a turning point in history. A miniature painting captures the intensity and bravery displayed during this pivotal moment. Intricate artwork like Black Buck from the Shah Jahan Album showcases Rahman's appreciation for beauty and detail. Created by Manohar during the late 16th century, it exemplifies artistic mastery. Literature also pays tribute to Rahman's legacy. Yusuf is Drawn Up from the Well tells a tale of resilience and triumph against all odds. This folio from Yusuf and Zulaikha by Jami transports us to another time with its vivid imagery. Even currency bears witness to Rahman's significance. The reverse of an Arabian dirham coin minted during Abd al-Rahman III's caliphate reminds us of his economic prowess and influence. But Rahman isn't confined to historical events alone; he permeates contemporary arts as well. Musicians like Arun Ghosh (clarinet), Rastko Rasic (drums), Idris Rahman captivate audiences at venues such as Ropetackle Arts Centre with their mesmerizing performances. Idris Rahman continues enchanting listeners alongside Shirley Tetteh and Chris Williams on alto saxophone at Ropetackle Arts Centre in Shoreham, West Sussex – their harmonies filling the air with pure magic.
