EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from a Zafarnama, an exquisite Persian manuscript dating back to the 15th century. The image captures the recto side of the folio, depicting a significant moment in history - Timur granting an audience on the occasion of his accession to the throne at Balkh. The artwork is meticulously crafted with opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper by artists from the Persian School during the Timurid period in Shiraz, Iran. Measuring 35.1 x 24.5 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Arthur M. Sackler Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D. C. , USA. The scene depicted portrays Timur as he sits regally upon his throne while receiving visitors and courtiers who have come to pay their respects during this monumental event. The attention to detail and vibrant colors used in this illuminated miniature bring life to this historical moment. This extraordinary piece not only serves as a testament to Persian artistry but also offers us a glimpse into Tamerlane's reign and its significance within history. With its rich symbolism and intricate design, it stands as a remarkable example of manuscript illumination that continues to captivate viewers centuries later.
