EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the life of Rumi, the renowned Persian poet, Islamic jurist, theologian, philosopher, and Sufi mystic. In this late 16th-century vellum artwork by the Persian School, we witness Rumi curing his elder son Arif from a pustule in his throat. Rumi's deep connection with spirituality and healing is beautifully portrayed as he tenderly tends to his son's ailment. Dressed in traditional oriental costume and adorned with an elaborate headdress, Rumi exudes wisdom and compassion. The manuscript text surrounding them adds an air of sacredness to the scene. As the founder of the Mawlawiyya or Mevlevi Sufi order – famously known for their whirling dervishes – Rumi's influence on Islamic mysticism cannot be overstated. This image serves as a visual testament to his multifaceted role as both a spiritual leader and a loving father. The intricate illumination work further enhances the ethereal quality of this piece. Every detail is meticulously crafted; from Rumi's turban to Arif's expression of trust and vulnerability. It invites us into their intimate world where faith intersects with familial love. Preserved within private collection today, this print not only showcases artistic mastery but also offers us a glimpse into one man's profound impact on religious thought and devotion throughout history.
