EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Persian miniature titled "The fabulous bird Simurgh carries Zal, son of King Siyam". The artwork originates from the epic poem "Shahnameh" (Book of Kings) by Ferdowsi and is housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale in Naples, Italy. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness the mythical creature Simurgh carrying Zal, who was abandoned on a mountain due to his albinism. The intricate details of the painting bring to life the rich Islamic art tradition with its vibrant colors and delicate brushwork. Zal's vulnerability as a child found alone on the mountain is juxtaposed against the majestic presence of Simurgh. This legendary bird, akin to a phoenix or phenix, symbolizes protection and guidance as it soars through an enchanting landscape filled with lush trees and wildlife. The Persian miniature captures not only a moment from ancient literature but also reflects themes of childhood innocence, perseverance, and acceptance within Muslim culture. It serves as a testament to both Iranian history and Islamic religion. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful reproduction ensures that this extraordinary artwork can be appreciated by audiences worldwide. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported into an imaginary world where myth intertwines with reality—a true celebration of artistic expression and cultural heritage.
