EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Views of Mecca and Medina" created by the Ottoman School in the late 18th century. The painting, measuring 14x9.5 cm, is a stunning example of Islamic artistry and craftsmanship. The image captures a close-up view of this intricate piece, which combines paint, gilt, and ink on paper to depict the majestic cities of Mecca and Medina. The artist skillfully portrays the fortified castles and citadels that dominate these sacred landscapes. With no people present in the scene, the focus remains solely on the artistic mastery displayed through decorative techniques such as gilding and ink drawing. This illuminated manuscript serves as a prayer book or possibly even a page from "Dalalil al Khayrat" written by Muhammad Al-Jazuli. The composition evokes feelings of awe and reverence for these holy sites within Islam. It transports viewers back to an era when fortifications provided security amidst religious devotion. This single object represents creativity at its finest during the late eighteenth century. Its historical significance lies not only in its depiction but also in its preservation over time. Displayed proudly in a private collection, this print allows us to appreciate this remarkable work without commercial intentions or restrictions. Bridgeman Images has successfully captured every detail with precision, ensuring that admirers can experience firsthand this masterpiece's beauty and cultural importance
