Ali Ben Ahmed, the Last Caliph of Constantine, with his Entourage outside Constantine
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history as it showcases Ali Ben Ahmed, the last Caliph of Constantine, accompanied by his entourage. Painted in 1845 by Theodore Chasseriau, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 259x325 cm and is currently housed at the Château de Versailles in France. In this equestrian portrait, Ali Ben Ahmed exudes power and authority as he sits atop his horse surrounded by his loyal escorts. Dressed in traditional North African attire with a turban adorning his head and a majestic beard framing his face, he embodies the essence of Arab culture. Chasseriau's encounter with the Caliph during their time in Paris inspired him to create this remarkable piece. The artist skillfully portrays not only the physical attributes but also the charisma and dignity that radiate from Ali Ben Ahmed. The presence of Harakta tribe members further emphasizes the importance of community and solidarity within Algerian society. This painting serves as a testament to their rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork, we are transported back to a time when empires ruled and traditions thrived. It reminds us of the intricate tapestry that makes up our world's history while honoring an influential figure who held great significance for both Algeria and its people.
