EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Djerba Island takes us back in time to a place steeped in history and intrigue. Situated in the Gulf of Cabes, this picturesque island is home to the Castle of Es Suk, where a haunting tower stands as a grim reminder of past conflicts.
In 1558, fourteen thousand Spanish soldiers met their tragic fate on Djerba Island, their skulls and thigh-bones now displayed in the tower for all to see. The sheer magnitude of this loss is palpable as we gaze upon this solemn monument to those who perished so long ago.
The image captures not only the physical remnants of this dark chapter in history but also the sense of mystery that still lingers over the island. The juxtaposition of beauty and tragedy is striking, making us reflect on the fragility of human life and the enduring impact of war.
As we study each detail in this print – from the weathered bones to the ancient castle walls – we are transported back to a time when Djerba Island was at the center of great upheaval. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst natural beauty, there lies a story waiting to be told.
