EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Persian art from the early 1400s. The image features two pages from a manuscript known as "The Story of Hushang" which is part of the Majmac al-Tavarikh (A Compendium of Histories) written by Hafiz-i Abru. These exquisite pages were created for the library at Herat, belonging to Shah Rukh, the Timurid king and son of Timur (Tamerlane). The recto page displays an intricate illustration accompanied by Persian prose, depicting scenes from the ancient story. The artist's skillful use of ink and opaque watercolor brings life to this historical narrative. On the verso page, we find more text in Persian prose continuing with stories chronicling world history until Shah Rukh's reign. This manuscript holds great significance as it traces various historical events beginning with biblical prophets up until its contemporary time during the Timurid period. It serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and scholarly pursuits during this era. Preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art, this masterpiece offers us a glimpse into Iran's rich cultural heritage. Despite its age and unknown creator, these pages continue to captivate viewers with their beauty and storytelling prowess. This print by Heritage Art/Heritage Images allows us to appreciate and cherish this valuable artifact that connects us to centuries past.
