Reciting Poetry in a Garden, Iran, first quarter 17th century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the serene gardens of Iran during the early 17th century. In this enchanting scene, four individuals are engaged in an intimate gathering, immersed in the art of poetry recitation. The creator remains unknown, yet their ability to capture such a momentous occasion is truly remarkable. The setting exudes tranquility and beauty with its vibrant blue ceramic tiles adorning the walls and intricate stonepaste pottery scattered around. The polychrome glaze within black wax resist outlines cuerda seca technique adds depth and richness to this decorative space. Clothed in traditional Persian attire, both men and women don elegant garments while wearing turbans as headgear. Their clothing reflects the cultural heritage of Iran and showcases their deep-rooted connection to Islamic traditions. As they speak verses from Safina - a collection of poems cherished by Iranians - their words echo through the garden's lush greenery. Each person's expression reveals their passion for literature and devotion to religious beliefs. This photograph serves as a testament to Iranian history and artistic brilliance that thrived during this period. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it allows us glimpses into past eras where leisurely pursuits like poetry recitation were treasured moments shared among friends or loved ones. Through this image, we are reminded of the power that art holds in connecting generations across time and preserving our rich cultural heritage for future appreciation.
