The Hearing of Qadi, 1746-47
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures an intriguing moment in history. Created by Claude Augustin Duflos le Jeune, this image depicts a scene inspired by the renowned artist François Boucher. Set in eighteenth-century France, the engraving showcases a group of men gathered indoors for a significant event - the hearing of Qadi. The qadi, or judge, dressed in traditional Turkish attire with an elaborate turban atop his head, commands attention as he gestures with authority. The composition beautifully portrays the customs and traditions of Islamic culture during this era. The individuals present are deeply engaged in the proceedings; some point towards each other while others listen intently to arguments being made. This panoramic snapshot provides us with insight into how disputes were decided upon within Muslim communities at that time. As we observe this heritage art piece from Claude Augustin Duflos le Jeune's collection at The Met Museum, it transports us back to a different time and place where religion played a vital role in shaping society's values and judgments. Through this artwork, we can appreciate both the artistic skill involved in its creation and gain knowledge about historical practices within Islamic law. This print serves as a window into another world - one filled with rich cultural diversity and deep-rooted traditions that continue to shape our understanding of justice today.
