As Alma lay there, her thoughts drifted back to the events that had unfolded. She had been leading her tribe, defending their land from invaders who sought to claim their resources. The battle had raged on for days, leaving casualties scattered across the sandy terrain. With every swing of her scimitar, she had fought valiantly to protect her people.

But the enemy proved to be relentless, outnumbering her tribe and pushing them further onto the defensive. In the midst of the chaos, Alma had sustained deep wounds, yet she refused to yield. Her spirit burned fiercely, refusing to be extinguished by mere bloodshed.

A soft breeze wafted through the battlefield, carrying with it the scent of desert sand and the distant hum of prayer. The sound brought a faint smile to Aisha's dirt-streaked face. She knew that even in this grim moment, her faith would guide her through. With the remnants of her strength, she closed her eyes and uttered a prayer to the heavens, seeking solace and divine intervention.

In the distance, she heard the sound of shifting sand and the murmur of voices growing nearer. Opening her eyes, she saw a group of her fellow warriors approaching. Relief washed over her, for she knew she would not fight alone. They had come to her aid, their loyalty and camaraderie unwavering.

And as her journey continued, Alma vowed to carry the memory of this battlefield, the blood-stained armor, and the strength of her people with her. For in the face of adversity, she had learned that true beauty lies not only in the art of the world but within the resilience of the human spirit

The Pre-Raphaelites were a group of English painters, poets, and art critics, founded in 1848 by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Michael Rossetti, James Collinson, Frederic George Stephens and Thomas Woolner who formed a seven-member "Brotherhood" partly modelled on the Nazarene movement. The Brotherhood was only ever a loose association and their principles were shared by other artists of the time, including Ford Madox Brown, Arthur Hughes and Marie Spartali Stillman. Later followers of the principles of the Brotherhood included Edward Burne-Jones, William Morris and John William Waterhouse. More on the Pre-Raphaelite

Alma was by far the most distinguished of women because of her many superior qualities, especially because of the bravery she demonstrated in defense of her people.

Islam elevated the status of women, treating them on an equal footing with a man. Women had a newfound independent identity, in the physical and spiritual spheres.

Islamic history is full of warrior women who fiercely fought for what they believed in, defended what they cherished, and defied all expectations and became legends.

The Warrior Woman is an ancient archetype that is not well known because the stories have been both forgotten and suppressed. Mythology is full of warrior goddesses.

Traditionally, the Bedouin were among the most dangerous of desert tribes, fighting among themselves when outsiders weren’t available. Constantly on the move to find new pastures for their livestock, they learned to live with the minimum of possessions and little external support in the harshest of lands. Loyalty to tribe and family was all that helped a warrior survive. More on Desert Warriors

Leonardo da Vinci captures a scene of intense battle and fierce determination. Set in an arid battlefield, Bedouin warrior women stand at the forefront. Their bodies adorned in intricately oriental armor, they exude both strength and elegance.

As the women take aim, their gazes focused and unwavering, they release their spears towards the enemy. The composition captures the very essence of war, with dust swirling in the air, lending an air of turmoil and chaos to the scene. The women's movements are frozen in time, showcasing their expertise as archers and their deadly accuracy in hitting their intended targets.

This painting is rendered in stunning ultra-high resolution 8k, allowing for an incredible level of detail and realism. The aspect ratio of 7:4 adds a cinematic quality to the artwork, enhancing the dramatic impact. Every brushstroke and subtlety in lighting is meticulously executed, resulting in a photorealistic style that brings the scene to life.

"Battle maidens of the Sands" perfectly captures the spirit of powerful, fierce women in the midst of conflict, drawing inspiration from the mastery of Leonardo da Vinci while showcasing the artist's own skill and vision.

Leonardo da Vinci, (born April 15, 1452, Anchiano, near Vinci, Republic of Florence — died May 2, 1519, Cloux, France), Italian painter, draftsman, sculptor, architect, and engineer whose genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal. His Last Supper (1495–98) and Mona Lisa (c. 1503–19) are among the most widely popular and influential paintings of the Renaissance. His notebooks reveal a spirit of scientific inquiry and a mechanical inventiveness that were centuries ahead of their time.

The unique fame that Leonardo enjoyed in his lifetime and that, filtered by historical criticism, has remained undimmed to the present day rests largely on his unlimited desire for knowledge, which guided all his thinking and behaviour. An artist by disposition and endowment, he considered his eyes to be his main avenue to knowledge; to Leonardo, sight was man’s highest sense because it alone conveyed the facts of experience immediately, correctly, and with certainty. Hence, every phenomenon perceived became an object of knowledge, and knowing how to see became the great theme of his studies. He applied his creativity to every realm in which graphic representation is used: he was a painter, sculptor, architect, and engineer. But he went even beyond that. He used his superb intellect, unusual powers of observation, and mastery of the art of drawing to study nature itself, a line of inquiry that allowed his dual pursuits of art and science to flourish. More Leonardo da Vinci

Anselm Feuerbach,  (born September 12, 1829 - died January 4, 1880, Venice, Italy), one of the leading German painters of the mid-19th century working in a Romantic style of Classicism.

Feuerbach was the son of a classical archaeologist and the nephew of the philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach. After studying art at the Düsseldorf Academy and in Munich, he went twice to Paris, where he worked in the studio of Thomas Couture and was influenced by Gustave Courbet and Eugène Delacroix.

Feuerbach lived in Italy from 1855 to 1873, and much of his best work was produced during this period. He was influenced by antique Greek and Roman art and Italian High Renaissance painting, and he developed an interest in idealized figure compositions of a lyrical, elegiac nature. 

In 1873 Feuerbach became a professor at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts and painted for the academy building Fall of the Titans, generally regarded as his weakest work. Ill and discouraged by the harsh criticism of this work, Feuerbach left Vienna in 1876 and returned to Italy, where he died. More on Anselm Feuerbach

Mother and Child

AI Created

Mother and child riding a donkey, their eyes fixed on the path ahead. They are following the footsteps of the father, who tirelessly led the way through the desolate surroundings, searching for a safe place to pitch their tent amidst the horrors of war that surrounded them.

The once lively village they called home had been reduced to ruins, its buildings demolished and its streets left in disarray. The echoes of violence still reverberated in the air, a constant reminder of the destruction that had taken place. But the family pressed on, driven by an unwavering determination to find a semblance of normalcy in this war-torn landscape.

The mother's heart ached as she held her child tightly, shielding them from the harsh reality that lay before them. She whispered comforting words, assuring them that everything would be alright, even though she herself couldn't predict what the future held. The child clung onto their mother, their innocent eyes filled with confusion and fear.

Navigating through rubble-strewn streets, they passed remnants of what used to be homes, now reduced to mere shells of their former selves. The haunting imagery of shattered windows and crumbled walls served as constant reminders of the lives that were disrupted, torn apart by the chaos of war. Yet, hope continued to flicker within their weary hearts, pushing them forward.

Hours turned into days as they trekked on, the donkey trudging through the barren landscape. Finally, a small clearing emerged, a patch of grass among the debris. It was far from perfect, but it offered a glimmer of relief from the surrounding chaos. The family dismounted the donkey, their tired bodies grateful for a moment's respite.

Together, they laboriously pitched their worn tent, its fabric weathered and torn, but still providing a shelter from the elements. The mother spread a threadbare blanket on the ground, creating a semblance of comfort for her child. It was a meager refuge amidst the vast devastation, but for now, it would have to do.

As the night fell, the family huddled together, finding solace in each other's presence. They closed their eyes, their hearts heavy with the weight of uncertainty, but also filled with determination and resilience. In their unity, they clung to the hope that one day, the wounds of war would heal, and they could rebuild their lives.

Through the darkness and destruction, this mother and child found strength in their love for one another. Together, they would endure the hardships of war, seeking a brighter future amidst the surrounding devastation.

Executed in the style of Anselm Feuerbach, the viewer is transported to a battlefield engulfed in chaos, dust, and destruction. The focal point of the painting are two remarkable Bedouin sisters as they stand defiantly in a vast open field.

The composition is dynamically balanced, with the sisters positioned at the forefront, their bodies twisted in mid-action as they skillfully draw back their bows, ready to release a volley of deadly arrows towards the enemy. Their expressions, a mix of determination and fierce resolve, further emphasize their status as warriors reaping havoc upon their foes.

Feuerbach's brushwork adds depth and texture to the scene, capturing the turmoil of war and the swirling dust that envelops the battlefield. Shades of earthy tones dominate the landscape, reflecting both the arid terrain and the somber atmosphere. 

Despite the turmoil, there is an undeniable beauty conveyed through the representation of these warrior women. Their elegant, garments pay homage to their heritage and evoke a sense of both tradition and pride.

Alma, adorned in a torn and ragged wrap around her waist. She is shown chained to a weathered column in a dimly lit dungeon, creating a sense of vulnerability and captivity.

The ground is scattered with rubble, symbolizing the destruction and decay surrounding Alma in her dire situation.

In the background, a shard of a wall is depicted, which remains from the once majestic building, alluding to the ravages of war and the loss of cultural heritage. This scene acts as a poignant backdrop, evoking a sense of melancholy and the passage of time.

Together, these elements come together to create a thought-provoking oil painting that captures the essence of the 17th-century Italian Old Master style while showcasing the beauty, strength, and vulnerability of the Arab warrior woman, Alma.

Memories and a Firebrand, c. 1956
Fine Art Digital Print

40 x 29.5 cm 

Private collection

Shammout always made it a point to never cease depicting the Palestinian exodus in his work. Living under harsh conditions and haunting experiences, as a child he was forced to flee from his home during the Nakba of 1948 and traveled on foot to settle in a refugee camp. He documented that march of death, exhaustion, and thirst in several paintings executed in the 1950s. In his works, the struggle of living under occupation is highlighted with forlorn figures resting in darkness or clinging to one another while they journey across barren land. His own memories of displacement and death are infused with his paintings, depicting the struggle of Palestinians with dark shadows that speak of loss, and children who sit alone in contemplation. Shammout’s works can be regarded as iconic for the Palestinian people. It visually symbolized the very struggles and experiences living under occupation, showcasing not only the memories he carried but for those who are currently living under it to this day. More on this work

Ismail Shammout (1930 – 2006) was a Palestinian artist and art historian.

Shammout was born in 1930 in Lydda. On July 12, 1948, he and his family were amongst 25,000 residents of Lydda expelled from their homes by Israeli occupation. The Shammout family moved to the Gaza refugee camp of Khan-Younes. In 1950 Shammout went to Cairo and enrolled in the College of Fine Arts. After returning to Gaza in 1953, he held his first exhibition, which was a success.

Shammout and Palestinian artist Tamam al Akhal participated in the Palestine Exhibition of 1954 in Cairo. The exhibition was inaugurated by then Egyptian President Gamal Abdul Nasser. Later in 1954, he moved to Italy and enrolled at the Academia De Belle Arti in Rome. He married al Akhal in 1959. Their work has been exhibited in several countries.

Shammout became a part of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) as the Director of Arts and National Culture in 1965. He also held the position of Secretary General of the Union of Palestinian Artists. He became Secretary General of the Union of Arab artists in 1969. In 1992 he and his wife, al Akhal, moved to Germany due to the Gulf War. After Germany, they settled in Jordan.

He and Al Akhal, returned to Lydda in 1997.

He died on July 1, 2006, at the age of seventy-six. More on Ismail Shammout

01 Work, Middle East Artists, THE ART OF WAR, Franz von Stuck's Arab queen Mawia, with Footnotes #81

After Franz von Stuck

Arab queen Mawia

AI Generated

neural.love

Mawia was an Arab queen, who ruled over the Tanukhids, a confederation of semi-nomadic Arabs, in southern Syria, in the latter half of the fourth century. She led her troops in a rebellion against Roman emperor Valens, riding at the head of her army into Phoenicia and Palestine. After she reached the frontiers of Egypt and repeatedly defeated the Roman army, the Romans finally made a truce with her on conditions she stipulated. Following her victory, Mawia was powerful enough to be able to dictate the terms of negotiations. She demanded that a certain orthodox Christian monk, Moses, be named as bishop over her people. The Romans later called upon her for assistance when being attacked by the Goths, to which she responded by sending a force of cavalry.

Considered to be "the most powerful woman in the late antique Arabia after Zenobia" much of what is known about Mawia comes from early, almost contemporaneous accounts, such as the writings of Rufinus, thought to be derived from a now lost account by Gelasius of Caeserea. Later authors transformed her into a Christian of Roman stock, though she was evidently Arab, and perhaps initially pagan. More on More on Mawia

Franz Ritter von Stuck (February 23, 1863 – August 30, 1928), born Franz Stuck, was a German painter, sculptor, printmaker, and architect. Stuck was best known for his paintings of ancient mythology, receiving substantial critical acclaim with The Sin in 1892. In 1906, Stuck was awarded the Order of Merit of the Bavarian Crown and was henceforth known as Ritter von Stuck. More on Franz Ritter von Stuck

In the midst of the chaotic and war-ravaged city of Gaza, where destruction and despair loomed over every street corner, a group of people found themselves running for cover. The once vibrant city now lay in ruins, its buildings reduced to rubble, and its inhabitants living in constant fear.

As sirens wailed in the distance and gunfire echoed through the desolate streets, a couple huddled together, their faces stained with tears and dirt. With every step they took, they tried to shield themselves from the horrors unfolding around them, desperately searching for a safe haven.

Amidst the destruction, a young woman clutched her husband's hand tightly, her eyes filled with both terror and determination. She knew they had to keep moving, keep running, for their lives depended on it. The sound of explosions grew nearer, intensifying their urgency to find shelter.

They dodged debris and jumped over fallen walls, their bodies filled with adrenaline and fear. The once-familiar landmarks of their beloved city were unrecognizable, swallowed by the chaos of war. The distant sound of an approaching tank sent chills down their spines, propelling them forward with renewed vigor.

Tiziano Vecelli or Tiziano Vecellio, or Titian (1488/1490 – 27 August 1576), was an Italian painter, the most important member of the 16th-century Venetian school. He was born in Pieve di Cadore, near Belluno (in Veneto, Republic of Venice). During his lifetime he was often called da Cadore, taken from the place of his birth.

Recognized by his contemporaries as "The Sun Amidst Small Stars", Titian was one of the most versatile of Italian painters, equally adept with portraits, landscape backgrounds, and mythological and religious subjects. His painting methods, particularly in the application and use of color, would exercise a profound influence not only on painters of the Italian Renaissance, but on future generations of Western art.

During the course of his long life, Titian's artistic manner changed drastically but he retained a lifelong interest in color. Although his mature works may not contain the vivid, luminous tints of his early pieces, their loose brushwork and subtlety of tone are without precedent in the history of Western painting.
