EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from the Shahnama (Book of Kings) of Firdausi, dating back to the 1500s. The image captures an unfinished painting depicting one of the most beloved episodes from the life of Bahram Gur, a renowned pre-Islamic Persian king who reigned during AD 420-38. Bahram Gur was not only known for his leadership but also his exceptional hunting skills. In this particular episode, he faces a unique challenge posed by his concubine, Azada. She dares him to strike a donkey through its foot and ear with just one arrow. The composition of this artwork is truly mesmerizing. At the upper right corner, we see Azada gracefully playing her harp while perched on top of a camel. Meanwhile, at the bottom part of the page, Bahram Gur successfully meets her challenge in an ingenious way. He cleverly tosses a rock into the donkey's ear and waits for it to try kicking it loose before releasing his arrow. Created during Iran's Safavid period in either Tabriz or Qazvin, this masterpiece is rendered using opaque watercolor and gold on paper. It now resides within The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection where its artist remains unknown. This remarkable print by Heritage Art/Heritage Images allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill and storytelling prowess that have made Shahnama such an enduring piece of Persian literature and culture.
