EDITORS COMMENTS
King Khusraw Anushirvan Enthroned: A Regal Moment from the Shahnama Manuscript of Ferdowsi (741 A.H./A.D. 1341) This stunning page from the Shahnama, or "Book of Kings," penned by the renowned Persian poet Ferdowsi (Abu ol-Qasem Firdawsī) in the 14th century, showcases the majestic enthronement of King Khusraw Anushirvan (Chosroes I). The king, depicted in full regalia, sits confidently on his throne, his face radiating wisdom and power. The intricate details of his attire, from the ornate robes to the elaborate headdress, are rendered in meticulous ink opaque watercolor and gold on paper. Ferdowsi's epic poem, the Shahnama, is a cornerstone of Persian literature and history. It recounts the tales of legendary kings, heroes, and mythical creatures from the pre-Islamic and early Islamic eras of the Middle East. The Shahnama was not only a literary masterpiece but also an essential source of Iranian heritage and identity. This page, with its captivating depiction of King Khusraw Anushirvan, offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the Middle East during the Islamic period. The figure of the king, surrounded by his loyal subjects and courtiers, is a testament to the power and grandeur of the monarchy in the region. The intricate lettering and border designs further emphasize the importance of the written word and the art of calligraphy in Islamic and Persian culture. This image, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a valuable addition to the museum's extensive collection of Islamic and Middle Eastern art. It serves as a reminder of the profound impact of Ferdowsi's literary legacy and the enduring allure of the tales and figures contained within the Shahnama.
