EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned chemists Geber Jabir ibn Hayyan and his master Giafar el Sadik Djafar al-Sadiq, both influential figures in the world of alchemy during the 8th century. Geber Jabir ibn Hayyan, a Muslim alchemist of Persian origin, is depicted alongside his mentor, Shiite immam Giafar el Sadik Djafar al-Sadiq. The late 19th-century Liebig chromolithography beautifully captures their intellectual prowess and dedication to scientific exploration. The image transports us back to an era when knowledge was sought after with great fervor, particularly within religious orders like Islam. In this portrait, we witness the fusion of religion and science as these learned individuals delve into the mysteries of chemistry within their laboratory. Their work not only contributed to advancements in alchemy but also played a significant role in shaping Arab civilization during the Middle Ages. The medium used for this artwork adds depth and vibrancy to every detail - from their intricate robes to their focused expressions. This chromolithography serves as a testament to the rich history of Islamic culture and its contributions to various fields of study. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are reminded of how curiosity transcends time and how these famous chemists left an indelible mark on our understanding of science and religion alike.
