EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Khusraw before Shirins palace from a Shahnama (Book of kings)" transports viewers to the enchanting world of Persian mythology and epic tales. Created by the Persian School in the 16th century, this masterpiece measures 32.3 x 20.6 cm and is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution, USA. This detached folio originates from a dispersed copy of the Shahnama (Book of kings) written by Firdawsi during his lifetime in the early 11th century. The artwork depicts a poignant scene from one of its tragic love stories - that between Sasanian king Khosrow II and Armenian princess Shirin, who eventually becomes queen of Persia. The intricate details captured through ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper showcase remarkable craftsmanship. The border features exquisite patterns adorned with flowers and animals while Nastaliq script elegantly weaves through the composition. As one delves into this mesmerizing piece, they are transported to an era where heroes roamed palaces adorned with ornate decorations. The sailing ship depicted amidst lush trees adds an element of adventure to this mythical narrative. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into Persian culture during the Safavid period (1501-1722). It stands as a testament to Islamic art's rich history in Iran and continues to captivate audiences worldwide with its decorative miniatures depicting mythological tales passed down through generations.
