EDITORS COMMENTS
Emir Bachi, Plate Twelve from Caravanne du Sultan à la Mecque (The Caravan of the Sultan to Mecca), 1748, is a captivating etching on ivory laid paper by the renowned French artist Joseph-Marie Vien the Elder. This masterpiece, part of the vast artistic production of the Baroque era, showcases an Emir, a high-ranking Islamic ruler, dressed in traditional apparel, leaning on his elbow and gazing off into the distance. The Emir's costume is a testament to the rich heritage of the Islamic world during the eighteenth century. He wears a long, flowing robe adorned with intricate patterns and a headdress that adds grandeur to his appearance. His beard, a symbol of his faith, is well-groomed and neatly styled. The Emir's headgear, with its tall, conical shape, is a common feature of Islamic headwear during this period. This etching is a conceptual representation of the Hajj pilgrimage, an essential religious journey for Muslims to Mecca. The Emir's seated position and thoughtful expression suggest a deep contemplation of the spiritual significance of the pilgrimage. The artwork, with its black and white contrast, exudes an aura of timelessness and elegance. It is a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and customs of the Islamic world during the eighteenth century, offering a valuable insight into the cultural heritage of this period. This etching is a must-see for anyone interested in art, fashion, or the history of the Islamic world. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
