EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing miniature of the Selection of astrological treasures by Rumi, believed to have been created around 1273. An anonymous artist skillfully crafted this piece, which now resides in the esteemed Collection of Bibliotheque Nationale de France. The artwork itself is a true testament to the beauty and intricacy of allegory and literature within Islamic art. Painted with gouache on parchment, this illuminated manuscript features an exquisite illuminated letter that draws viewers into its enchanting world. Within the miniature, astrology and astronomy intertwine as zodiac signs and constellations come alive. The calendar depicted hints at ancient wisdom passed down through generations, while mythology adds an element of mystique to the composition. As one delves deeper into this masterpiece, it becomes evident that it holds profound significance for Sufi culture. Rumi's teachings are subtly woven throughout the painting, inviting contemplation and spiritual reflection. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors transport us back in time to medieval Iran when such manuscripts were treasured possessions among scholars and patrons alike. This work exemplifies how fine art can transcend time, allowing us to connect with past civilizations and appreciate their artistic achievements. Thanks to Fine Art Images/Heritage Images for capturing this extraordinary piece in all its glory – a visual feast for lovers of both history and art!
