EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a candle clock from the 14th century. The image captures the intricate details and ingenious design of this mechanical device, as depicted in the folio from "Kitab fi ma arifat al-hiyal al-handisaya" (The book of knowledge of ingenious mechanical devices) by al-Jazari. In this artwork, created by the Mamluk Sultanate school, we see an ink drawing enhanced with opaque watercolors and gold on paper. The craftsmanship is evident in every stroke, bringing to life the complexity and beauty of this ancient automaton. The candle clock itself is a fascinating invention that measures time using burning candles. As each hour passes, the flame gradually consumes the wax, indicating how much time has elapsed. This clever mechanism not only served practical purposes but also showcased human ingenuity during that era. Preserved at the Freer Gallery of Art in Smithsonian Institution, USA, this artwork serves as a testament to our fascination with timekeeping throughout history. It reminds us of our ancestors' quest for knowledge and their ability to create innovative solutions even without modern technology. Through John Tsantes' lens, we are transported back in time to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such masterpieces and their significance in understanding our past.
