EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating illustration from a Haft Awrang (Seven Thrones) by Jami, dating back to the Safavid Period in Persia, depicts Majnun approaching the camp of Layli's caravan. The scene is filled with bustling activity as tents are set up and food is prepared for the weary travelers. Dromedaries, adorned in colorful costumes, stand nearby, adding an exotic touch to the encampment. The customs and traditions of Persian culture come alive through this artwork. The manuscript containing poems about love and longing showcases the literary prowess of Persian scholars during this era. Each tent is decorated with ornate patterns and intricate designs that reflect the rich artistic heritage of Iran. As Majnun approaches Layli's camp, his heart undoubtedly races with anticipation. This moment captures both excitement and trepidation as he prepares to reunite with his beloved after enduring countless trials on his journey. The use of watercolor, ink, and gold on paper adds depth and richness to this stunning piece of art. It serves as a visual feast for those who appreciate Eastern literature and aesthetics. Displayed at the Freer Gallery of Art in Smithsonian Institution in USA, this print transports viewers back to 16th-century Persia where poetry meets visual artistry in perfect harmony.
