EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Bahram Gur hunts with Azada, from a Khamsa" created by the Persian School in the 16th century. The piece, measuring 31.1 x 20 cm, is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The image depicts a detached folio from a dispersed copy of Nizami's Haft paykar (Quintet), specifically showcasing Bahram Gur engaged in hunting activities alongside his loyal companion Azada. The intricate details and vibrant colors are brought to life through ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper. Within this masterpiece, we witness Prince Bahram Gur skillfully wielding his archery skills while surrounded by an enchanting landscape teeming with wildlife. A harmonious blend of musical instruments such as harps and percussion add to the ambiance of this scene. This remarkable illumination captures not only the beauty but also reflects aspects of Persian culture during the Safavid period (1501-1722). It exemplifies Islamic art with its meticulous attention to detail and reverence for nature. With references to Sasanian kingship and influences from cities like Isfahan and Shiraz, this artwork serves as a testament to Persia's rich history. Through its depiction of animals as prey and deer roaming freely within their natural habitat, it symbolizes both power and harmony between man and nature.
