EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork titled "Rustem Slays the Dragon" by Persian School, dating back to the 16th century. Created using gouache and gold paint on buff paper, this masterpiece measures 26.5x17 inches (47x31.7 cm) and is currently held in a private collection. The image depicts an intense scene from Persian mythology, where Rustem bravely confronts and defeats a fearsome dragon. The vibrant yellow hues of the painting beautifully contrast with the lush greenery of the hilly landscape surrounding them. The artist skillfully captures Rustem's heroic stature as he stands atop a mountainside, armed with his sword ready to strike down the mythical creature. The intricate details in both man and beast showcase the mastery of Persian art during this period. This piece is inspired by Ferdowsi's epic poem "Shahnameh" also known as "Book of Kings". It reflects elements of Zoroastrianism, an ancient religion that heavily influenced Persian culture at that time. The use of gold paint adds a touch of opulence to this dramatic composition while highlighting its religious significance. The script accompanying the artwork further enhances its historical context and cultural importance. Overall, this stunning print transports viewers into a world filled with mythological creatures, courageous heroes, and rich storytelling traditions unique to Persia's artistic heritage.
