"The Triumph of the Bedouin"

Vicari has taken painting to a new frontier and it was he who after 14 centuries of non-figurative Art set a precedent in Arabia by introducing the human figure into official Islamic Art, the first occasion since the time of the Prophet Mohammed. The sixty works of "The Triumph of the Bedouin", commissioned by the King and Government of Saudi Arabia, took five years to complete and now adorn the prestigious King Faisal Conference Centre in Riyadh, one of the three museums devoted entirely to his work in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
