EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Illuminated Bookbinding of the Gulistan of Sa di, dating back to the 17th century. Created by an unknown artist, this masterpiece is a true testament to Persian art and craftsmanship. The image captures a close-up view of the bookbinding, revealing its intricate details and vibrant colors. The brown lacquered leather cover is adorned with decorative elements in green, creating a striking contrast that catches the eye. The interior pages are filled with beautifully illuminated calligraphy done in ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper. The Gulistan of Sa di is a renowned collection of poetry written by Abu Muhammad Muslih al Din bin Abdallah Shirazi, also known as Sadi Shirazi Shaikh. This literary work holds great significance within Islamic culture and has been cherished for centuries. In this photograph, we see a group of men engrossed in their leisurely pursuit of reading and discussing this treasured manuscript. Their traditional headgear adds to the authenticity and cultural richness depicted in this scene. Located at the Art Institute Chicago's Asian Arts gallery, this artwork represents not only Iran's rich heritage but also serves as a reminder of Asia's diverse artistic traditions. Its presence here allows visitors to appreciate both the beauty found within Persian literature and its profound impact on religious and cultural practices throughout history.
