EDITORS COMMENTS
Sultane Noire" or "The Black Sultana," plate 27 from Caravanne du Sultan à la Mecque (The Caravan of the Sultan to Mecca) by Joseph-Marie Vien the Elder (1716-1809) is an exquisite etching on ivory laid paper, showcasing the elegant attire of a Black woman during the 18th century. This artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and the diverse representation of people during the Baroque era. The image depicts a woman in traditional Islamic clothing, reclining and relaxing during the pilgrimage to Mecca. She wears a voluminous, flowing dress with intricate patterns, adorned with a hat that accentuates her regal bearing. The woman's serene expression and the tranquil setting convey a sense of peace and relaxation, making this etching a beautiful representation of the human experience during the Hajj. Joseph-Marie Vien the Elder, a renowned French artist, created this etching as part of a series, Caravanne du Sultan à la Mecque, which documented the journey of the Sultan and his entourage to the holiest city in Islam. The series is a significant contribution to the history of art, offering a glimpse into the diverse world of the 18th century, where people from various backgrounds and cultures came together in the spirit of religious pilgrimage. This etching, with its intricate details and stunning composition, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of fashion, art, and the rich cultural heritage of the Islamic world. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from all corners of the globe.
