EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration from the Haft awrang (Seven thrones) by Jami transports us to a perilous moment in time. The scene depicts a bandit attack on the caravan of Aynie and Ria, two brave travelers navigating the treacherous landscapes of ancient Persia. The artist, al-Daylami, skillfully captures the chaos and intensity of this conflict. With vibrant watercolors, intricate ink detailing, and delicate gold accents, every element comes to life. The composition is dynamic, with diagonal lines leading our eyes through the action-packed scene. In the foreground, dromedaries laden with precious cargo stand tall as their riders defend against ruthless criminals armed with weapons. The clash between good and evil unfolds amidst breathtaking mountainous scenery adorned with colorful floral motifs. As we delve deeper into this masterpiece, we discover hidden details that add depth to the narrative. Birds soar above as if witnessing this battle unfold while red dividers separate different hemistichs of text written in elegant Persian script. This artwork not only showcases exceptional artistic talent but also provides a glimpse into historical Persia's dangers and adventuresome spirit. It serves as a reminder that even in times of turmoil and uncertainty, courage can prevail over adversity. Displayed at the Freer Gallery of Art within Smithsonian Institution in Washington D. C. , this print invites viewers to immerse themselves in an extraordinary world where bravery meets beauty.
