EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1843, capturing a moment frozen in time. The image showcases the magnificent Porte Kennesrine, a grand gate nestled within the ancient city walls of Aleppo, Syria. Created by Hancke, this architectural drawing allows us to marvel at the intricate details and Islamic influences that adorn this historic structure. The Gate stands as a testament to centuries of rich history and cultural heritage. Its imposing presence commands attention as it serves as both an entrance into the walled town and a symbol of religious significance. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are reminded of Aleppo's prominence as a thriving metropolis in the Middle East during the 19th century. The artist's choice to present this scene in black and white adds an air of nostalgia, enhancing our appreciation for its timeless beauty. The monochromatic tones highlight every line and curve with precision while allowing our imagination to fill in vibrant colors from days gone by. Now housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece invites us to reflect on not only its artistic value but also on the resilience of Aleppo itself. Despite facing numerous challenges throughout history, including recent conflicts that have ravaged parts of its architectural treasures, Aleppo continues to stand strong as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. In contemplating Hancke's portrayal of Porte Kennesrine, we are transported across time and space - connecting with both past generations who walked through these gates and future admirers who will continue
