EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a dramatic scene from the Shahnama (Book of Kings), an epic Persian poem written by Firdawsi in the 11th century. The artwork, created by the Persian School in the 16th century, depicts Rustam and his men launching a fierce attack on the fortress of Gang Dizh. The composition is filled with intricate details and vibrant colors, showcasing the skillful use of ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper. The fortress itself stands tall against a backdrop of lush landscapes adorned with patterned flowers and animals. Nastaliq script elegantly weaves through the image, adding to its decorative appeal. As part of this legendary tale, Gang Dizh serves as a Turanian stronghold where King Afrasiyab has sought refuge with his loyal followers. Rustam emerges as a mythological hero who fearlessly confronts his enemies atop his majestic horse. This exquisite piece not only captures an intense battle but also reflects elements of Islamic art prevalent during Persia's Safavid period. It combines mythology, legend, and history into one ornate miniature that transports viewers into another world. Acquired by Freer Gallery of Art at Smithsonian Institution in USA through various funds including Dr. Arthur M. Sackler's contribution; this print is now preserved for all to appreciate its cultural significance and artistic brilliance.
