EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from the Shahnama (Book of Kings) by Firdawsi, a renowned Persian epic. The artwork, created in the 16th century by an anonymous artist from the Persian School, measures 32.3 x 18.9 cm and is currently housed in the Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The image depicts courtiers gathered around Luhrasp, who sits majestically on his throne. The intricate details of ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper bring this historical moment to life. This particular print is part of a larger folio from Firdawsi's Shahnama. The composition exudes grandeur and elegance as it transports us back to ancient Persia during the Safavid period (1501-1722). It showcases exquisite Islamic artistry with its elaborate borders and mesmerizing patterns. The acquisition of this piece was made possible through generous contributions from various sources including Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds, Smithsonian Collections Acquisition Program, and Dr. Arthur M. Sackler. As we admire this stunning artwork captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage preserved within these pages - an epic tale that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
