Yusuf and Zulaykha (Recto); Text Page, Persian Verses (verso), c. 1556-65. Creator: Unknown
Yusuf and Zulaykha (Recto); Text Page, Persian Verses (verso), c. 1556-65. The Khamsa, a suite of five poems (khamsa is Arabic for five) written in the twelfth century, was, like the earlier Shahnama, concerned with the history and legends of pre-Islamic Iran. But Nizamis interest was with love rather than war. In this, the second of the poems, he tells the story of these two famous star-crossed lovers. It is difficult to assign the illustrations here to specific episodes, but they may be concerned with Khusros stay at the court of Shirins aunt, the Queen of Azarbaijan. Shirin and her companions prepare bowls of pomegranates in a courtyard before the palace

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing piece of art titled "Yusuf and Zulaykha (Recto); Text Page, Persian Verses (verso), c. 1556-65". Created by an unknown artist during the Safavid period in Iran, this painting is part of the Khamsa, a collection of five poems written in the twelfth century. Unlike other works that focused on war and history, Nizami's Khamsa delves into the realm of love. The second poem within this collection narrates the tale of Yusuf and Zulaykha, two renowned star-crossed lovers. Although it is challenging to attribute specific illustrations to particular episodes within their story, some believe they depict Khusro's time at Shirin's aunt's court – the Queen of Azarbaijan. The image itself portrays Shirin and her companions engaged in an enchanting activity. They are seen preparing bowls filled with vibrant pomegranates in a serene courtyard adjacent to a magnificent palace. The use of opaque watercolor and ink on paper adds depth and richness to this masterpiece. Preserved by The Cleveland Museum of Art, this heritage artwork offers viewers a glimpse into Iranian culture during the sixteenth century. Its intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship make it an invaluable treasure for art enthusiasts worldwide. Heritage Images has beautifully captured this timeless artwork through their expert photography skills. This print serves as both a visual delight and a historical testament to Iran's rich
