EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Persian artistry from the 16th century. The image features a page filled with exquisite Persian quatrains and calligraphic exercises, created by the renowned calligrapher Sultan Muhammad Khandan. The central part of the page displays diagonally written text, forming a beautiful poem dedicated to a ruler. It expresses heartfelt wishes for his triumph over adversaries and success in his endeavors. The words are carefully crafted, conveying both admiration and hope. Moving towards the top and bottom panels, we encounter another quatrain that celebrates love and beauty. This eloquent verse praises the enchanting allure of the writer's beloved, comparing her face to a radiant moon capable of captivating countless hearts. To the right side of this poetic masterpiece lies an impressive display of calligraphic exercises showcasing letters from the alphabet. These intricate strokes demonstrate Sultan Muhammad Khandan's virtuoso skills as a master calligrapher. The use of opaque watercolor on paper adds depth and richness to this artwork while touches of gold enhance its luxurious appeal. Created during Iran's Safavid period between 1509-1550, this piece reflects not only artistic excellence but also cultural heritage. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this extraordinary creation invites us into an era where poetry was revered as much as visual art itself—a testament to human creativity transcending time and place.
