EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Young Rustem Slaying the White Elephant" a stunning artwork created by an Iranian school in the 16th century. Measuring 21x11 cm, this gouache painting with gold paint on paper is currently held in a private collection. The image depicts a scene from the Shahnameh, an epic Persian poem, where Rustem, a legendary hero, fearlessly takes down a white elephant. The artist skillfully illustrates the intensity of this religious tale through vibrant colors and intricate details. In this mid-16th-century masterpiece, we witness Rustem mounted on his horse as he wields his spear to slay the majestic creature. Surrounding him are men dressed in traditional attire, emphasizing their involvement in this significant event. The use of gold paint adds richness and grandeur to the composition. The artwork not only captures the bravery and strength of Rustem but also reflects themes of cruelty and abuse towards animals. It serves as a reminder of Zoroastrianism's negative concept surrounding such acts. With its historical significance and artistic excellence, this piece exemplifies Islamic art at its finest. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows admirers worldwide to appreciate its beauty while preserving cultural heritage for future generations to enjoy.
