EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MORDECAI. Mordecai hanging the sons of Haman" takes us back to biblical times, specifically to the story of Esther as described in the Old Testament. The Persian manuscript illumination from the Ardasir Book, dating back to the 1650s-1700s during the Safavid era, beautifully depicts this significant moment. In this scene, we witness Mordecai's act of justice and retribution against Haman's sons. As stated in Esther 9:7-10,13-14, Mordecai hangs these men who were involved in a plot to annihilate his people. Mounted on horseback with an arrow drawn on his bow, he stands tall as a symbol of strength and determination. The intricate details of this artwork are truly remarkable. Mordecai wears a crowned turban at bottom right, signifying his elevated status within Persia. The vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes bring life to every element portrayed - from the majestic horses ridden by other figures in the background to the lifeless corpses hanging from ropes. This image not only serves as a visual representation of an important event in Jewish history but also showcases elements that resonate across different religions and cultures such as Christianity and Islam due to its connection with ancient Persia. As we admire this piece from Granger Art on Demand collection by 140_1636693 (not affiliated with any company), let us reflect upon themes like justice, courage, and faith
