EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a significant moment during the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. Titled "Pilgrimage to Mecca. Stoning the Devil" it depicts Muslim pilgrims engaged in a powerful ritual of throwing pebbles at walls, known as jamarat, in Muzdalifah near Mecca. The image is based on Richard Francis Burton's personal account of his clandestine journey to Mecca in 1853. The scene showcases a diverse crowd of devout individuals from different walks of life, united by their faith and commitment to this sacred tradition. As they stand before the towering walls, representing the devil's temptation, each stone hurled symbolizes their rejection of evil and reaffirms their devotion to Islam. The lithograph beautifully captures the essence of this spiritual gathering amidst breathtaking landscapes. The Middle Eastern backdrop with its majestic mountains adds an air of solemnity and grandeur to this religious event. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation but also offers insight into the rich history and cultural significance associated with the Hajj pilgrimage. It highlights how millions embark on this arduous journey every year, seeking purification and spiritual enlightenment through acts such as stoning the devil. As we gaze upon this print from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, we are reminded of humanity's capacity for deep-rooted faith and our shared desire for connection with something greater than ourselves.
