EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment from the Shahnama (Book of Kings), an epic Persian poem by Abu l-Qasim Manur Firdawsi. In this 17th-century artwork, titled "Ms C-822 Simurgh offers Zal, the father of Roustem, to Sam, the grandfather of Roustem" we witness a powerful scene filled with symbolism and emotion. The painting depicts Simurgh, a mythical bird in Persian folklore, offering Zal to Sam. Zal is the father of Roustem, one of the most legendary heroes in Persian literature. The image showcases Simurgh's role as a guardian figure who sacrifices her own child for another's well-being. The composition is richly detailed and vibrant with gouache on paper technique. The colors bring life to every element - from the majestic bird to the intricate Arabic writing that adorns the manuscript. As we delve into this artwork's narrative layers, we can interpret it as an exploration of sacrifice and familial bonds. It speaks volumes about love and selflessness passed down through generations. Displayed at the Institute of Oriental Studies in St. Petersburg, Russia, this piece exemplifies both artistic mastery and cultural significance. Its inclusion in historical manuscripts like Shahnama highlights its importance within Persian literary tradition. Through this print from Fine Art Finder by www. bridgemanimages. com , viewers are invited to immerse themselves in ancient tales woven together with poetic brilliance and visual splendor
