EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the Shahnama, also known as the Book of Kings. Created by Abu l-Qasim Manur Firdawsi in 1619, this Persian masterpiece captures a pivotal moment in the epic tale. The artwork depicts Rostam, a legendary hero, being carried by Akwan-Diwa. The scene is filled with intricate details and vibrant colors that bring the story to life. Rostam appears peacefully asleep while being transported across a mystical landscape. As he rests, his loyal companion Akwan-Diwa takes on the role of protector and guide. The artist's skillful use of gouache on paper adds depth and texture to every element within the composition. From the flowing robes of Rostam to the ethereal fish swimming beneath them, each brushstroke tells a story. This miniature painting perfectly encapsulates both the power and tranquility found within Persian poetry and art. It serves as a testament to Firdawsi's talent for capturing complex emotions through visual storytelling. Now housed at Czartoryski Museum in Cracow, Poland, this precious piece invites viewers into an ancient world where heroes battled demons and mythical creatures roamed free. It stands as a reminder of our shared human fascination with tales that transcend time and culture.
