EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, "The Story of Adam, peace upon him, his Sons and Progeny" from the renowned Jami al-tavarikh (Compendium of Chronicles) by Rashid al-din. Created around 1425 for the library at Herat under the patronage of Shah Rukh, son of Timur (Tamerlane), these two pages are a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic brilliance of Timurid Iran. Rendered in opaque watercolor and ink on paper, this manuscript painting depicts an enchanting narrative that traces the lineage and legacy of Adam through his sons and progeny. The Majma al-Tawarikh chronicles not only biblical prophets but also encompasses historical events up until Shah Rukh's reign. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this artwork transports us back in time to a period when art was used as a medium to preserve knowledge and celebrate cultural heritage. The delicate brushstrokes bring life to each figure portrayed in this composition while simultaneously conveying a sense of reverence for religious figures. Housed within the esteemed collection at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this timeworn masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its rich historical significance. As we gaze upon these pages from centuries past, we are reminded once again that art has always been an integral part of human civilization – connecting us across time and space.
