EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bifolio from the late 15th century, showcasing hunting scenes in exquisite detail. Created by the Islamic School, this artwork measures 26.5x14.5 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The painting depicts a vibrant outdoor setting with men engaged in an energetic hunt. The scene unfolds on hilly terrain, providing an elevated view of the action taking place below. A large group of people can be seen chasing after a variety of animals, their movements captured with skillful brushstrokes and highlighted with gold paint. The composition exudes movement and activity as men on horseback pursue their prey through the natural space surrounding them. The image showcases physical prowess and highlights the thrill of the chase during this time period. Notably, only men are depicted engaging in this blood sport, reflecting cultural norms of that era. The artwork offers insight into both sporting activities and ethnic origins prevalent during the late 15th century. Framed beautifully, this stunning piece exemplifies Islamic art's mastery over color and composition while also serving as a historical document capturing physical activity within society at that time.
