EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from a Khamsa (Quintet) by Nizami, dating back to the Safavid period in 1575. Created by the Iranian school of the 16th century, this exquisite piece measures 26.4x17.2 cm and is currently housed at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in the Smithsonian Institution, USA. The front side of this folio depicts a mesmerizing scene titled "In the Topic of Silence". The intricate pen and ink work on paper brings to life an enchanting narrative that captivates viewers with its beauty and detail. On the verso side, there is an accompanying text that further enhances our understanding of this remarkable artwork. Acquired through various sources including Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds, Smithsonian Collections Acquisition Program, and Dr. Arthur M. Sackler himself, this acquisition adds immense cultural value to the gallery's collection. This manuscript exemplifies Islamic art during the Safavid era with its Persian and Arabic script beautifully interwoven throughout its pages. As we admire this drawing by Nizami within his renowned Khamsa (Quintet), we are transported back in time to appreciate not only his artistic prowess but also gain insight into historical narratives embedded within these masterpieces. Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured every nuance of this extraordinary artwork for us to cherish and explore for years to come.
