EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning folio from the Shahnama, or Book of Kings, showcases the Meeting of Two Generals, Goudarz and Piran Viseh, an epic tale from the twelfth-century Persian poem by Abu Ol Qasem Ferdowsi. The scene captures the moment of confrontation between the two generals, each mounted on magnificent horses adorned with intricate caparisons, as they face each other on the battlefield. The rich colors and opaque watercolor, enhanced with gold and black and red ink, bring the scene to life with vibrant detail. The two men, dressed in armor and armed with quivers full of arrows, prepare for the imminent clash. The Meeting of Two Generals is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Asia, specifically Iran and India, during the fifteenth century. This folio, which is part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, is a prime example of the beauty and complexity of Persian art and literature. The scene is a poignant reminder of the timeless themes of courage, honor, and the human condition, as depicted in the epic poem by Firdawsī, Abul Qasim Mansur.
