"Shirazi: A Journey Through Persian Poetry and Art" Step into the enchanting world of Shirazi, a city that has inspired countless poets and artists throughout history. This captivating collection of illustrations and calligraphy takes us on a mesmerizing journey through the works of Hafez-e Shirazi, Sa di, and other renowned Persian masters. As we turn the pages of this ancient poem book by Hafez-e Shirazi, we are transported to a realm where words dance off the page. The delicate strokes of Bihzad's brush bring to life the swirling movements of Dancing Dervishes, evoking a sense of spiritual ecstasy. In another folio from a Divan of Hafiz, ca. 1480, we witness an epic Battle Between Iranians and Turanians. The vivid colors and intricate details depict bravery amidst chaos, reminding us of Iran's rich history. The Album Leaf with Calligraphic Exercise (siyah mashq), dated A. H. 1258 / A. D. 1842-3 showcases the mastery in penmanship as each stroke gracefully intertwines with one another, and is a testament to the skillful artistry that flourished during this era. Sa di's Bustan (Orchard), dated A. H. 936 / A. D. 1529 with later additions reveals profound wisdom through its verses about love, nature, and human existence. King Salih of Syria Entertaining Two Dervishes captures moments filled with hospitality and kindness—a reflection of Sa di's teachings on compassion. Within these pages lies more than just poetry; they hold stories that transcend time itself—like when A Religious Devotee is Summoned to Pray for the Kings Recovery or when Abraham welcomes a Fire-Worshipper at his table—an embodiment of tolerance between different faiths. Shaikh Zada's Interior Reception from Bustan depicts opulent gatherings where intellect and artistry intertwine.
