EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a 14th-century lustre storage vase, known as the Vase of the Gazelles or Vaso de las Gazelas, from the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. Published in London in 1855 as part of the Handbook of the Arts of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, this image transports us back to an era steeped in Islamic artistry. The ceramic craftsmanship displayed on this vase is truly remarkable. Its intricate design features delicate gazelles gracefully adorning its surface, their forms brought to life with meticulous attention to detail. The lustre technique used enhances its allure by creating a shimmering effect that adds depth and richness to every curve and contour. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are reminded of Spain's rich cultural heritage and its profound influence on artistic expression during medieval times. This pottery exemplifies the mastery achieved by Islamic artisans who flourished within Al-Andalus - a period when Muslim rule shaped Spain's identity. The Alhambra itself stands as a testament to this golden age, where architectural wonders harmoniously blended with decorative arts like ceramics. This photograph captures not only an object but also evokes emotions connected to history and culture. Ken Welsh's skillful capture allows us to appreciate both the grandeur and intricacy present in this ancient artifact while reminding us of our shared human legacy across time and place.
