EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Khamza" by Jamal al-Din Abu Muhammad Nizami, a renowned Persian artist from the 12th century. The artwork, created in 1651 during the Safavid era in Iran, is an exquisite example of Persian manuscript art. Measuring 36x21 cm, this piece is part of a private collection and features intricate details executed with pigment and gold on buff paper. The manuscript consists of 303 folios adorned with twenty-eight contemporaneous miniatures that are richly colored and highlighted with gold accents. The central figure depicted in "Khamza" is a man seated in the lotus position, symbolizing tranquility and spiritual enlightenment. Surrounding him are courtiers engrossed in writing poetry and engaging in intellectual discussions. This scene captures the essence of Persian culture during that time period when poetry held great importance within society. The illuminated headpieces throughout the manuscript add to its visual allure, featuring vibrant polychrome flowers and interlaced split-palmettes intricately outlined with gold strapwork borders. Signed by Ibn Husayn Murad Ali Damavandi and dated February 1651 AD, this artwork bears historical significance as it represents both artistic excellence and cultural heritage from Safavid Iran. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this masterpiece through their lens for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its beauty even centuries later.
