Marie Francois Sadi Carnot (1837-1894) was a prominent figure in history, known for his contributions and achievements. In this colored engraving, we catch a glimpse Carnot as a young man, full of potential and ambition. Moving on to another scene, we witness the portrayal of a drunken state in "Judge (Qazi) of Hamadan in a Drunken State, " taken from the Gulistan of Sa di. This depiction serves as a reminder that even those in positions of authority are not immune to human weaknesses. In contrast, "Chained Prisoners are Brought Before a King" transports us back to ancient times when justice was served by powerful rulers. The painting captures the tension between captives and their fate while highlighting the influence wielded by kings during the Safavid dynasty. A more lighthearted moment is captured in "A Polo Game: Page from Kulliyyat (Collected Works) of Sa di. " Here, we see individuals engaging in an exhilarating sport that has been enjoyed for centuries. It reminds us that amidst life's challenges, there is always room for leisure and enjoyment. The beauty and intricacy found within illuminated manuscripts are showcased through "The Illuminated Border of Animals" from the Gulistan of Sa di. This double page exemplifies the skillful craftsmanship employed during its creation and highlights nature's wonders through vibrant illustrations. An unknown creator showcases their talent with an exquisite "Illuminated Bookbinding" featuring verses from Sa di's Gulistan. The delicate details speak volumes about Persian artistry during the 17th century while preserving timeless wisdom within its pages. Sheikh Saadi engages in intellectual discourse with Nizami and attendants on one side while Hafiz graces the reverse side of this book cover. This image symbolizes how great minds come together to exchange ideas, fostering knowledge and enlightenment throughout history.
