EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Ms C-822 Afrasiab's Dream, in which he sees himself as a prisoner" takes us on a journey into the depths of Persian mythology and literature. This 17th-century gouache on paper artwork is part of Shah-Nameh, also known as The Epic of the Kings, written by Ferdosi. In this intriguing image, we witness Afrasiab, the King of Turan, caught in a dream that foretells his future fate. As he envisions himself imprisoned, we are left to ponder the significance of this vision and its implications for his reign. Ferdosi's epic poem Shah-Nameh narrates tales of ancient Persian kings and heroes with rich symbolism and poetic beauty. This miniature manuscript captures one such moment from this literary masterpiece. The intricate details in Arabic writing add an element of authenticity to the artwork while highlighting its Islamic origins. Its preservation at the Institute of Oriental Studies in St. Petersburg serves as a testament to its historical importance. As viewers delve into this mesmerizing piece, they become immersed not only in Persian culture but also in universal themes such as destiny and foresight. It reminds us that even great rulers like Afrasiab are subject to forces beyond their control. This print invites us to explore the world created by Ferdosi through visual artistry—a fusion where poetry meets painting—and encourages contemplation about our own dreams and visions for the future.
