EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing representation of the diverse activities of mankind according to the planets. Created by the Ottoman School in the 16th century, this miniature from the Ottoman manuscript "Matali al-Sa det" (Book of Happiness) by Mohamed ibn Emir Hasan al-Su udi offers a glimpse into the intricate world of astrology. Within this artwork, we witness various individuals engaged in different trades and professions that are associated with specific planets. From musicians and carpenters to weavers and camel makers, each figure symbolizes a unique aspect of human endeavor. The copyist diligently transcribes knowledge, while the painter brings life to colors on canvas. A tailor skillfully crafts fabric, harmonizing with melodies played by musicians. The exquisite details captured in this piece highlight not only artistic mastery but also shed light on societal roles during that era. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship prevalent in both Ottoman Empire and Middle Eastern civilizations. Through its delicate illumination techniques and Arabic writing adorning every corner, this masterpiece transports us back to an enchanting time when artistry flourished alongside astrology's influence over daily life. As we admire these laborious creations within their atelier setting, it becomes evident how much value was placed on honing one's craft during those times.
