EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a representation of the Tomb of Ahmad ar-Rifai, the esteemed creator of the Muslim jam of Rifaiya in the 12th century. Created by the Tunisian School in the 19th century, this popular imagery from Tunisia offers a glimpse into history and Islamic culture. The engraving depicts a scene filled with symbolic elements that hold great significance within Muslim religion. A majestic lion stands guard at the entrance of the tomb, representing strength and power. Surrounding it are various creatures including crabs, snakes, and scorpions, each symbolizing different aspects such as resilience, wisdom, and protection. The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring life to these ancient symbols and evoke a sense of awe. The intricate details highlight not only artistic skill but also provide insight into Middle Eastern aesthetics during this time period. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by Leonard de Selva's lens, we are transported back to an era where faith played a central role in shaping societies. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and connect us to our rich cultural heritage.
