EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable folio of calligraphy from the Safavid dynasty in Herat, dating back to August-September 1552. Created by the Persian School in the 16th century, this exquisite piece measures 22.8x13.4 cm and is currently housed at the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The folio itself features an intricate composition crafted with opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper. The skilled hand of Kamal al-Din (died 974 A. H. ) is evident throughout this masterpiece of Persian artistry. The delicate lettering and meticulous manuscript work demonstrate a profound appreciation for handwriting and page design prevalent during that era. This extraordinary example of Iranian calligraphy transports viewers to a time when words were revered as both artistic expression and communication. With its rich historical significance, this image invites us to explore the cultural heritage of Persia through its written traditions. It serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and craftsmanship found within ancient manuscripts. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are reminded that art has no boundaries or limitations; it transcends time and place while continuing to inspire generations with its timeless allure.
