EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the "Conquest of Baghdad by Timur" in the 15th century. The folio from a Zafarnama (Book of Victory) depicts this significant event that took place in Dhu l Hijja 839 A. H. /A. D. , specifically June-July 1436. In this stunning Indian miniature painting, we see Amir Timur leading his armed forces into battle, showcasing their strength and determination. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element comes to life on this piece of heritage art. The vibrant colors and intricate clothing worn by the men add depth and richness to the scene. Mounted on majestic horses, these horsemen exude power and bravery as they ride towards victory. The archer depicted in the foreground highlights the importance of archery during warfare at that time. His poised stance with bow in hand showcases his skill and precision as he prepares for battle. The Persian script surrounding the painting adds authenticity and cultural significance to this artwork. It tells a story of conquest, heroism, and historical legacy.
