EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing page from the renowned Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama), specifically the fourteenth night: The origin of music. Created during the 16th century in India, this exquisite piece of heritage art depicts an enchanting tale that unfolds before our eyes. The focal point of this artwork is a fabulous bird indigenous to India, possessing an extraordinary beak with seven holes. It is believed that from these very openings, the magical essence of music emanated into the world for the first time. The artist's skillful use of ink and gold on paper brings life to this ancient narrative, capturing every intricate detail with precision. Painted during Akbar's reign in Mughal India, this masterpiece holds historical significance as it reflects the artistic brilliance and cultural richness prevalent at that time. Opaque watercolors add depth and vibrancy to each stroke, enhancing its visual impact. Preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art, this page from Tales of a Parrot remains shrouded in mystery regarding its creator. However, its allure lies not only in its anonymity but also in its ability to transport viewers back through centuries to witness the birthplace of melody itself. As we gaze upon this remarkable image by Heritage Art/Heritage Images, we are reminded once again how art transcends time and space - allowing us to connect with stories long forgotten yet forever etched within our collective memory.
