EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Dancing Dervishes" is a mesmerizing depiction of the mystical and spiritual practice of whirling dervishes. Created by the Persian School in the 15th century, this artwork showcases their profound understanding of movement and spirituality. In this folio from a Divan of Hafiz, we witness a group of dervishes engaged in their sacred dance. With vibrant colors rendered in opaque watercolor and gold on paper, every brushstroke seems to capture the essence of their ecstatic trance-like state. The delicate details bring life to each dancer as they twirl gracefully across the page. Hafiz, an esteemed Iranian poet from Shiraz, provides inspiration for these dancers with his poetic verses that delve into themes such as love, mysticism, and divine connection. The artist attributed to this painting is Bihzad from Herat, whose skillful hand brings forth both beauty and depth within each figure. As we gaze upon this artwork housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, we are transported to another time and place where spirituality intertwines with artistic expression. The image evokes a sense of awe and wonderment as we contemplate the devotion and dedication displayed by these dancers. This print serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage found within Persian artistry. It reminds us that through movement and music one can transcend earthly boundaries and connect with something greater than ourselves - an experience that continues to resonate throughout history.
