Moroccan Medina (Premium Matte Paper Wooden Framed Poster)
Description
The entrance to a Moroccan medina is more than just a doorway—it’s a passage through time. This piece captures Bab el Mahrouk, the striking 13th-century gate that leads into the heart of Fez, Morocco. With its grand horseshoe arch and intricate stonework, it stands as a testament to the architectural brilliance of the Almohad era.
This piece is part of Alan Yost’s classical art series, combining white chalk art, figurative drawing, and museum-quality prints to evoke timeless elegance.
Rendered in graphite on paper, this drawing highlights the depth and texture of the gate’s weathered façade, celebrating both its beauty and its centuries-old significance. Doors like this are found throughout Morocco, even in modern structures—graceful curves and ornate details shaping everyday spaces. It makes me wonder: Have we, in the West, confined ourselves too much to straight lines and right angles?
For those who appreciate history, travel, and the artistry of architecture, this piece brings a touch of Morocco’s timeless charm into your space.
The framed version comes professionally mounted, adding elegance and structure for a polished presentation.
Available Sizes: 30x45 cm / 12x18″
