EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Timur grants an audience on the occasion of his accession to the throne at Balkh" showcases a significant moment in history. Painted by the Persian School during the 15th century, this masterpiece measures 35.1 x 24.5 cm and is currently housed at the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution in the USA. In this opulent artwork, Timur (also known as Tamerlane) can be seen bestowing his presence upon courtiers and subjects alike during his ascension to power. The use of opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper adds a touch of grandeur to this scene from a detached folio belonging to a Zafarnama (Book of Victory) by Sharafuddin Ali Yazdi. Timur was a Turco-Mongol Persianate conqueror who established the Timurid Empire across present-day Iran and Central Asia. He holds immense historical significance as he became the first ruler of the Timurid dynasty. This image not only captures his imperial authority but also reflects elements of Islamic art prevalent during that era. This extraordinary piece was acquired through various sources such as Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds, Smithsonian Collections Acquisition Program, and Dr. Arthur M. Sackler's contributions towards preserving cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print from Fine Art Finder courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness an awe-inspiring moment when one man's ascent changed the course of history forever.
