EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A Zikr" captures a mesmerizing scene of religious devotion in Egypt during the late 19th century. Painted by the talented artist Robert George Talbot Kelly, this artwork beautifully portrays a group of men engaged in a profound act of worship. The setting is an intimate interior illuminated solely by the flickering flames of lanterns and fire. In this evocative image, we witness the power and intensity of their faith as they partake in a Zikr, or dhikr - a ritualistic remembrance practice within Islam. Each man's face reflects deep concentration and spiritual connection as they engage in prayer and contemplation. The warm glow from the lanterns creates an ethereal ambiance that adds to the overall sense of reverence within this sacred space. Talbot Kelly masterfully uses color to enhance both the lighting effects and cultural richness present throughout Egypt at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back to a different era - one where devotion was expressed through communal gatherings such as these. It serves as a reminder not only of our shared human experience but also highlights the timeless nature of religious practices across centuries. This extraordinary artwork offers us an opportunity to reflect on our own spirituality while appreciating the historical significance captured within its brushstrokes.
