Description
This show highlights the refinement of Tunisian decorative arts through a door richly painted with floral motifs and solar rosettes. This style, often present in the palaces and bourgeois residences of the Medina, testifies to the Andalusian and Ottoman influence on local aesthetics. The illustration, completed by the silhouette of a horse on the right, evokes the nobility of city traditions and the importance of ornamentation as a sign of prestige and cultural identity. This stamp celebrates the preservation of the know-how of artisan wood painters, whose works transform functional elements into true master paintings.
