The captivating print of "Or. 1359 fol. 35 v. Sultan Bayazid Captured by Timur, 1402 from the Zafarnama 1533" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts the powerful conqueror Timur capturing Sultan Bayazid I during the Battle of Ankara in 1402. In this exquisite illuminated miniature painting, we witness the grandeur and opulence of the Mogul court as both leaders are surrounded by sumptuous costumes and courtiers paying homage. The Persian School's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing to life the intricate patterns on their garments and the ornate tent that serves as a backdrop.
