EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate beauty of the Chella necropolis in Rabat, Morocco. The focus is on a mesmerizing detail of the door mosaic found in the medersa, an Islamic school within this historical site. Created by Moroccan School artists during the 14th century under Abu al-Hasan Ali Aboul Hassan's reign, this masterpiece showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and cultural significance of Moroccan art. The photograph reveals remnants of Moorish style architecture that have withstood the test of time, despite being damaged by the devastating Lisbon earthquake in 1755. The image transports viewers to a world where history and spirituality intertwine seamlessly. The vibrant zellige tiles adorning the entrance gate serve as a testament to Morocco's rich artistic heritage. Each meticulously placed tile tells a story, reflecting both Muslim traditions and architectural finesse. This fusion creates an enchanting atmosphere that beckons visitors to explore further into this sacred space. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene captured by Gerard Degeorge, we are reminded of Chella's dual identity as both a funerary site and an educational institution. It stands as a symbol of reverence for those who came before us while also serving as an enduring testament to human creativity and resilience.
