EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork titled "Jamshid enthroned" created by the Persian School in the 15th century. Measuring at 42.6 x 32.6 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution, USA. The painting depicts an iconic scene from a Majma al-tawarikh (Compendium of history) by Hafiz-i Abru, showcasing Jamshid seated on his majestic throne. The use of opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper adds a touch of opulence to this exquisite piece. Originally part of the Henri Vever collection and now under the ownership of Dr. Arthur M. Sackler and acquired through various funds including Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds and Smithsonian Collections Acquisition Program, this artwork holds immense historical significance. The intricate illumination techniques used in this Persian manuscript highlight its Islamic art influences while portraying elements from Iranian epic tales during the Timurid period (1378-1506). The presence of courtiers surrounding Emperor Jamshid creates an atmosphere that reflects both power and elegance. With its rich cultural heritage rooted in Persia's history, this artwork serves as a testament to the artistic brilliance achieved during that era. It stands as a reminder of Iran's vibrant past and continues to captivate viewers with its detailed craftsmanship even today.
