EDITORS COMMENTS
This and controversial print, titled "Flagellation" is a stunning illustration from The Arabian Nights. Created in 1895 by the French School of the 19th century, this color engraving showcases a scene filled with intrigue and sensuality. The image transports us to an exotic world of oriental tales and Indian folklore. In this particular moment, we witness a powerful depiction of eroticism intertwined with pain. A female figure stands naked, her body marked with blood from the whipping she endures. Her partner, also unclothed, wields the whip while adopting a Persian miniature style. The decorative border surrounding the central figures adds an ornate touch to this mesmerizing composition. Every detail has been meticulously crafted to create an atmosphere that immerses viewers in ancient India's rich cultural tapestry. While some may find elements within this artwork uncomfortable or even shocking due to its explicit nature, it serves as a testament to both artistic expression and storytelling prowess found within The Thousand and One Nights collection. Displayed as part of a private collection, this facsimile print offers us insight into historical narratives that have captivated audiences for centuries. It reminds us of the power art holds in evoking emotions and sparking conversations about societal norms across different cultures throughout history.
