Islamic wall art print of the Bimaristan al-Nuri, the hospital Nur ad-Din Zangi built in Damascus in 1154. Physicians, patients and arched wards painted in soft watercolour with fine ink detail and no facial features, the courtyard dissolving into white space at the edges. A dignified piece for a medical office, clinic, hospital staff room or study.
The hospital was free and treated patients regardless of faith, gender or means. Separate wards, a pharmacy, physician training and written records, all in the middle of a period of intense conflict with the Crusader states. William of Tyre described it with something close to envy.
A thoughtful gift for a doctor, nurse, pharmacist or medical graduate. Part of the Riwayah Studio Islamic History collection: Islamic medicine poster, Damascus wall art, Syrian heritage print, history of medicine wall decor, Muslim heritage art.
Country of origin: designed in the United Kingdom and printed to order in your own region, so US orders are printed and shipped within the US with no customs charges or import duty. This is an original paper art print.
Printed on premium 200 gsm matte paper with a smooth, uncoated finish that holds deep colour without glare. The paper is FSC certified and archival quality, so the artwork will not yellow over time.
Poster only: the print on its own, rolled and shipped in a protective tube, ready for your own frame or hanger. The most affordable option if you already have framing in mind.
Poster with wooden hanger: a black pine hanger with a matching leather cord. Magnetic strips grip the top and bottom of the print without damaging it, so fitting takes seconds and the print can be swapped or framed later. A good choice for renters or anyone who likes to restyle.
Framed print: a slim black aluminium frame, around 1 cm wide, with a shatterproof acrylic front and hanging kit included. The print and frame arrive together in one box, with simple fitting by hand in a couple of minutes.
Every piece is an original Riwayah Studio design, created in the United Kingdom and printed to order at our production partner's nearest facility. Orders placed in the US are printed in the US, and UK and EU orders are printed in Europe. Free delivery is included.
