Dead Kabyle
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a hauntingly beautiful etching on paper created by the renowned Spanish artist Mariano Jose Maria Bernardo Fortuny y Carbo in the 19th century. The image captures the lifeless body of a Kabyle man, a Berber people native to North Africa, lying down on the floor in a state of death. The black and white etching, with its letterbox format, evokes a sense of isolation and melancholy. The Kabyle man's body, etched with meticulous detail, is depicted in a panoramic view, taking up most of the image. His limbs are sprawled out, and his face is turned away from the viewer, adding to the enigma of the image. The flooring beneath him is rough and uneven, further emphasizing the harshness of the environment. Mariano Fortuny, as he was commonly known, was a prolific artist who excelled in various mediums, including painting, etching, and photography. This etching is a testament to his skill in capturing the human form with sensitivity and depth. Fortuny's fascination with the Kabyle people is evident in his body of work, which includes numerous portraits and scenes of daily life. The "Dead Kabyle" etching is now part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, a prestigious art museum and research center. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Kabyle people and the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and provoke thought. The etching's timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the human condition.
