EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic scene of King HumAuya'n FAul hunting in the company of his trusted vizier, Khujastah Ruy. Painted by the Persian School in the 19th century, this ink and pigment masterpiece measures 35x21.5 cm and is housed at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, USA. Folio 5b from Ms. W. 599, a copy of Anvar-i Suhayli (the Lights of Canopus), showcases an ancient Indian collection of animal fables known as Panchatantra. In this particular illustration, we witness Burzuyah, a Persian physician on a mission to India, discovering anthropomorphized animals who have compiled stories about their lives. The image depicts King HumAuya'n FAul mounted on horseback with his loyal vizier by his side as they engage in a thrilling hunt. The landscape surrounding them paints a picturesque backdrop for their noble pursuit. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies deeper symbolism - lessons on morality and behavior are embedded within these tales. As we observe this royal duo engaging in sport and adventure, it serves as a reminder that even those in positions of power must adhere to principles of light and righteousness. Through this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to ancient Persia where kingship intertwines with folklore and wisdom prevails through storytelling. It is an exquisite testament to the rich cultural heritage shared between Iran and India while celebrating both human ingenuity and our connection with nature's creatures.
