About the Item

Islamic City View Print Medina and the Prophet’s Mosque, 1863 Dutch Lithograph This beautifully detailed lithograph titled “Medina” presents a rare and reverent 19th-century European depiction of Islam’s second holiest city. The view centers on the Prophet’s Mosque (Al-Masjid an-Nabawi), a sacred site in Islamic tradition as it houses the tomb of the Prophet Muhammad. The mosque's large courtyard, flanked by multiple minarets and surrounded by the compact architecture of the walled city, stands out as the spiritual and visual focal point. The composition is drawn from a distant elevated viewpoint, allowing for a comprehensive panorama of Medina and its surroundings. Rolling hills and open terrain stretch into the background, while smaller mosques and structures can be seen scattered across the desert landscape. The stylized precision of the architecture and topography reflects the European documentary approach to Islamic geography at the time, aimed at both educational and cultural enlightenment. This lithograph was published in 1863 as part of the Dutch work *De Voornaamste Godsdiensten* (The Principal Religions), specifically from the section *Het Islamisme*, written by the prominent Orientalist Dr. Reinhart Pieter Anne Dozy. As a professor at the University of Leiden, Dozy contributed significantly to the understanding of Arabic and Islamic history in the Netherlands and wider Europe. His work sought to bridge cultural gaps by portraying Islamic societies with nuance and scholarly care. The lithograph itself was produced by the well-known Haarlem-based lithographers Emrik & Binger, whose work is characterized by clarity, detail, and aesthetic restraint. The crisp rendering of the city walls, mosque architecture, and distant monuments gives the piece a timeless quality that invites both contemplation and historical interest. This print stands as a valuable historical document, offering 19th-century insight into the Western perception of Islamic holy sites, and remains a compelling visual resource for collectors of religious art, Orientalist works, and Islamic cultural history. Condition Summary: Very good condition with slight foxing in the margins. Framing Tips: Frame using a soft beige or off-white mat and a narrow black or dark wood frame to bring out the architectural detail and emphasize the historical reverence of this sacred cityscape.
