EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a representation of the celestial globe, adorned with intricate zodiac signs and lunar divisions known as nakshatra. The exquisite miniature is derived from the manuscript "Zubdat al Tawarikh" (Creme of Stories) by historian Seyyid Loqman Ashuri in 1538. Housed within the Turkish and Islamic Art Museum in Istanbul, Turkey, this artwork exemplifies the rich heritage of Turkish and Islamic culture. The celestial globe depicted in this image symbolizes mankind's fascination with astrology and astronomy throughout history. It serves as a testament to our relentless pursuit of knowledge about the cosmos and its influence on human existence. The detailed Arabic writing surrounding the globe further emphasizes its significance as a source of wisdom and enlightenment. Created during the 16th century by an unknown artist from an Islamic school, this masterpiece reflects not only artistic brilliance but also highlights Arab civilization's contributions to various fields such as science, literature, and art. The illumination techniques employed in this miniature add depth and vibrancy to every element present. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures every nuance of this remarkable artwork through her lens, preserving it for generations to come. This print invites viewers into a world where ancient wisdom intertwines with artistic expression, reminding us that even centuries later, these cultural treasures continue to inspire awe and admiration among enthusiasts worldwide.
