EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, "The Story of Hushang" from the renowned Majma al-tavarikh (A Compendium of Histories) created by Hafiz-i Abru between 1425 and 1450. These two pages, preserved in a manuscript intended for the library at Herat under the patronage of Timurid king Shah Rukh, offer a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Afghanistan. Rendered with exquisite detail using opaque watercolor and ink on paper, this painting is an artistic marvel that reflects the grandeur and sophistication of Timurid Iran. The Majma al-Tawarikh chronicles the world's history, commencing with biblical prophets up until Shah Rukh's reign. It serves as both a historical record and an ode to the dynasty's power. As we delve into these pages, we are transported back in time to witness Hushang's tale unfold before our eyes. The intricate brushwork brings to life his heroic deeds and significant contributions to ancient Iranian civilization. Preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art collection today, this masterpiece stands as a testament to human creativity and intellectual curiosity throughout centuries. Its significance lies not only in its aesthetic beauty but also in its ability to connect us with our shared past. Through this print by Heritage Art/Heritage Images, we have been granted access to an extraordinary artifact that encapsulates Afghanistan's rich cultural legacy while inviting us on a journey through time
