EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Rustam before Kay Ka us" created by the Indian School in the 15th century. Measuring 29 x 23.8 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. Originally a detached manuscript folio from Firdawsi's Shahnama (Book of Kings), this artwork beautifully combines ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life an epic scene from Persian mythology. The painting depicts Rustam, a legendary hero, standing before King Kay Ka us. The delicate flowers and animals adorning the background add an enchanting touch to this ornate composition. The text written in Nastaliq script further enhances its decorative appeal. With its rich cultural significance and historical value, this piece represents Islamic art during the Delhi Sultanate period (1206-1526) in India. It is part of the renowned Henri Vever Collection and reflects influences from Safavid Iran. Acquired through various funding sources including Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds and Dr. Arthur M. Sackler, this photograph captures every intricate detail of this mythological masterpiece for all art enthusiasts to admire worldwide.
