EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Hamza and Ali in battle from a Rawzat al-safa" transports viewers back to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into Persian history and Islamic art. This masterpiece, created by the Persian School, showcases an intense scene of two legendary figures engaged in combat. The use of opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper adds a touch of opulence to this artwork. The composition depicts Hamza and Imam Ali locked in fierce battle amidst a battlefield. Their bravery and valor are palpable as they navigate through the chaos with determination etched on their faces. The intricate details of their armor and weaponry highlight the skillful craftsmanship employed by the artist. This detached manuscript folio originates from Khwandshah's "Garden of purity" which chronicles the lives of prophets, kings, and caliphs. The delicate calligraphy executed by Inayatullah al-katib al-Shirazi further enhances the overall aesthetic appeal. Housed at Freer Gallery of Art within Smithsonian Institution in USA, this acquisition was made possible through generous contributions from various sources including Dr. Arthur M. Sackler. It is part of Henri Vever Collection that celebrates Islamic culture. As we admire this extraordinary piece, it serves as a reminder not only of its artistic value but also its historical significance within Safavid period Persia (1501-1722). Through its vivid portrayal of religious themes intertwined with warfare elements, "Hamza and Ali in battle" invites us to delve deeper into Persian heritage while appreciating the beauty found within Islamic artistry.
