La représentation figurée du prophète Muhammad

Islam

Une scène du mi‘râj, « l’ascension céleste » de Muhammad. Sur le dos de sa monture ailée, le prophète rencontre lors de sa traversée des sept ciels un ange en forme de coq. Manuscrit produit à Hérat, XVe siècle (Paris, BnF, Manuscrits orientaux, Supplément turc 190, fol. 11). 

Maybe to get what’s going on now we need more orientalist scholarship, not less. About Islam and figurative art,you can read more and see more pictures here.
