Description
Yahia Turki (1903-1969), nicknamed the “father of Tunisian painting”, illustrates here a traditional teaching scene in a kouttab (Koranic school), where children are seated around a master.
Turki's post-impressionist style brings great liveliness to this scene. The kouttab represents the historical foundation of education in Tunisia. The artist here highlights the transmission of knowledge and the studious and colorful atmosphere of the traditional learning spaces of the Medina.
