EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing world of Whirling Dervishes, an engraving by the French School from the 18th century. The image is housed in Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, a testament to its historical significance. Within this enchanting scene, we witness a group of spiritual men engaged in their sacred practice known as Sufism. Clad in traditional attire and wearing slippers, these devoted individuals belong to a brotherhood that embraces dance as a form of religious exercise. This particular ritual is called "exercises des derviches tourneurs" which originates from Ottoman culture. The Dervishes can be seen gracefully whirling around with utmost devotion and concentration. Their movements are not mere physical exercises but rather an expression of deep spirituality and connection with God. As they spin tirelessly, they enter into a trance-like state where tradition meets religion. This evocative photograph transports us to Turkey's rich cultural heritage where Sufi traditions have thrived for centuries. It serves as a reminder of the profound impact that religion has on shaping societies and preserving ancient customs. Bridgeman Images beautifully captures this momentous artwork without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with any company. Through this stunning visual representation, we are invited to explore the mystical realm of Whirling Dervishes and appreciate their dedication to faith and tradition.
