EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Abou-Zayd at the Hanah tavern" takes us back to the 13th century, immersing us in the vibrant atmosphere of an Arab celebration. Created by Al-Wasiti, Yahya ibn Mahmud, this illuminated miniature from "Maqamat" (Sayings) showcases a party scene filled with life and energy. In this artwork, we witness Abou-Zayd amidst a bustling bar or pub setting. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Arab civilization during that time, highlighting elements such as food and drink, smoking addiction, and social interactions. A man engrossed in conversation while enjoying his tobacco-filled nargileh pipe symbolizes both masculinity and virility. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke brings forth the spirit of the medieval period. Arabic alphabet writings adorn the walls, reminding us of literature's significance during that era. Manuscripts scattered around hint at spare time activities enjoyed by those seeking enlightenment through knowledge. As we delve into this mesmerizing painting, it transports us to a world where joyous celebrations were cherished moments for Africans in Sudan and beyond. The artist's mastery lies not only in capturing human emotions but also in depicting cultural nuances. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris since its creation in 1237 (ms. 3929 folio 34v), this artwork continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed. It serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and connect us with our rich historical heritage.
