EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Dance of the Dervishes" takes us on a mesmerizing journey to Greece in the early 19th century. Engraved by T. Fielding and published in 1821, this aquatint artwork captures an enchanting scene that is part of Views in Greece, created by Edward Dodwell. In this particular plate, we are transported to Athens where a diverse crowd has gathered inside an ornate interior space. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the whirling dervishes, Islamic monks known for their ecstatic dance rituals. Their fluid movements and spinning create a sense of transcendence and spiritual devotion. As our eyes wander beyond the dancers, we notice other intriguing elements within the composition. The Andronikos Clock stands tall against one wall, its intricate design adding a touch of elegance to the scene. In the background, we catch glimpses of iconic landmarks such as the Tower of Winds and a distant monastery. This print not only offers us a glimpse into Greek culture but also serves as a testament to cultural exchange during the Ottoman Empire's rule over Greece at that time. It beautifully encapsulates moments frozen in time – moments filled with religious fervor, architectural marvels, and communal gatherings. Preserved within The Stapleton Collection today, this historical artwork allows us to reflect upon our shared human experiences across different cultures and eras while celebrating both artistic mastery and cultural diversity.
