EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures a scene from the renowned Hamzanama, an epic tale of adventure set in 16th century Hindoostan (India). The image showcases Umar, one of the valiant protagonists, as he strolls around the majestic Fulad Castle. Dressed in resplendent attire adorned with gold accents, Umar exudes power and authority. As fate would have it, his leisurely walk is interrupted by a chance encounter with a foot soldier. In an astonishing display of strength and skill, Umar swiftly kicks the soldier to the ground. The intensity of this moment is palpable through Kesav Das's masterful brushstrokes and Mah Muhammad's use of opaque watercolors infused with gold. The composition transports us to a walled city brimming with life and color. The intricate fortifications surrounding Fulad Castle stand tall against a backdrop that hints at bustling streets beyond its walls. This artwork not only serves as visual delight but also offers insight into historical literature and architectural heritage. Preserved within the esteemed collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this folio mounted on paper exemplifies India's rich artistic tradition during the 16th century. It reminds us of how art can transcend time, allowing us to appreciate both ancient tales and their visual interpretations for generations to come.
