EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating artwork titled "Farhad Carrying Shirin and Her Horse" is a stunning print from a copy of the Khamsa of Nizami, dating back to the Timurid dynasty in the 15th century. Created by an unknown artist, this masterpiece showcases the rich artistic heritage of Persia (Iran) during that era. In this close-up illustration, we witness Farhad's immense strength and effort as he carries both Shirin and her horse on his broad shoulders. The vibrant green color palette adds depth to the scene, highlighting the lush landscape surrounding them. This image is derived from a tragic love story known as "Khosrow and Shirin" written by Nezami Ganjavi. It narrates a romantic tale set in ancient Persia, where Princess Rosetta (Shirin) falls deeply in love with Farhad despite being betrothed to another man. The exquisite calligraphy accompanying this artwork further enhances its beauty. Opaque watercolor on paper has been skillfully used to bring life to every detail of this mesmerizing composition. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Asian Art Gallery, this piece serves as a testament to Asia's rich cultural heritage. Its inclusion among other arts of Asia signifies its significance within art history. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are transported back in time, immersed in an age-old love story that continues to captivate audiences today.
