Bahram Gur, the legendary king of Persia, is depicted in various captivating scenes throughout history. In the White Palace on Friday, we witness his regal presence as portrayed in a folio from a Khamsa dating back to A. H. 931 / A. D. This exquisite artwork showcases Bahram Gur's majestic aura and power. Moving on to the Yellow Palace on Sunday, another folio from the same Khamsa captures Bahram Gur's grandeur and charisma. The intricate details highlight his noble stature and command over his kingdom during this era. Intriguingly, it also finds himself amidst thrilling adventures such as seizing the crown of kingship between two fierce lions. Painted around c. 1630 with opaque watercolor and ink on paper, this masterpiece symbolizes his courage and determination in claiming his rightful place as ruler. The tale continues with a mesmerizing hunting scene depicted on a plate that narrates an episode involving him and Azadeh. This enchanting story unfolds through delicate strokes of artistry that transport us into their world filled with excitement and romance. Furthermore, we encounter Bahram Gur alongside a princess in different pavilions - Black Pavilion (c. 1590), Red Pavilion (from a Khamsa), White Pavilion (from a Khamsa). Each painting portrays their encounters with elegance and grace while showcasing their deep connection amidst opulent settings. Notably, another illustration depicts Bahram Gur hunting alongside Azada from yet another Khamsa dating back to c. 1580 using ink medium only. This particular artwork emphasizes not only their shared love for adventure but also highlights their bond forged through exhilarating experiences together. Lastly, we find ourselves captivated by the Greek Princess' presence within the Yellow Pavilion beside Bahram Gur - an intriguing fusion of cultures represented beautifully through artistry.
