A prince from Irans early legendary history, Siyavush was sent by his father, the shah, to train under the great warrior Rustam in the arts of hunting, archery, and horseback riding. In this painting, Siyavush demonstrates his considerable skill by hitting the bulls eye on a rolling target from horseback. The gold sky, pastel ground with grassy tufts, and dense leafy riverbank are distinctive features of Persian painting during this period

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Siyavush on his Horse Hitting a Rolling Target" transports us to the world of ancient Persia, as depicted in the Shahnama (Book of Kings) by Firdausi. Dating back to the late 1400s, this artwork showcases Siyavush, a prince from Iran's early legendary history. Sent by his father, the shah, Siyavush undergoes rigorous training under the renowned warrior Rustam. This painting captures a pivotal moment where Siyavush displays his exceptional skills in hunting, archery, and horseback riding. With remarkable precision and agility, he hits the bullseye on a rolling target while mounted on his majestic steed. The composition is enriched by distinct features of Persian painting during that era. The golden sky casts an ethereal glow over the scene while contrasting against the soft pastel ground adorned with tufts of grass. The dense leafy riverbank adds depth and tranquility to this vibrant masterpiece. Crafted using ink and opaque watercolor on paper with intricate gold detailing, this manuscript exemplifies artistic excellence from Shiraz during the Timurid period. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art today, it serves as a testament to Iran's rich cultural heritage. This remarkable print by Heritage Art/Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only Siyavush's prowess but also offers insight into Persian artistry and storytelling traditions that have endured for centuries.
