EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 12th-13th century, known as "Fragment". Created by an unknown artist during this period, the piece is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Middle East. The photograph captures every intricate detail of this ceramic masterpiece, which is housed in the prestigious Arthur M Sackler Gallery. The Fragment represents Islamic art at its finest and exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship prevalent during that era. Crafted using stone paste painted under glaze technique, it displays vibrant colors and delicate patterns that reflect religious symbolism. This work of art belongs to a style called Raqqa ware, named after its place of origin in Syria. As we admire this fragmentary sculpture, we are transported back in time to witness the fusion of religion and creativity. Its lustreware finish adds an ethereal glow to the artwork, further enhancing its allure. Preserved within Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art, this object serves as both an educational resource and a symbol of cultural heritage. It offers valuable insights into Islamic traditions and influences on ceramics while providing scholars with opportunities for research and study. Through this print by Heritage Images, viewers can appreciate not only the beauty but also gain knowledge about centuries-old techniques employed by skilled artisans whose names have been lost to history.
