Chantilly Cond Daughters Gouache Kings Marry Persian Persians Safavid Shah Nameh Sons Yemen
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th century Persian miniature painting, titled "Faridun's Sons Marry the Three Daughters of Sero, King of Yemen," is a breathtaking example of the artistic mastery of the Safavid period. The scene is taken from the epic poem "Shahnameh," or "The Book of Kings," a foundational work in Persian literature and culture. The painting, executed in vibrant gouache on paper, depicts the moment when Faridun, the legendary king of Persia, arranges marriages between his three sons and the daughters of Sero, the king of Yemen. The richly dressed figures, with their expressive faces and intricate headdresses, are depicted against a lush, green landscape. The use of gold and other metallic pigments adds a regal and opulent quality to the painting. This miniature painting is part of the extensive collection of the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France. The Musée Condé is renowned for its exceptional holdings of European and Orientalist art, and this Persian masterpiece is a testament to the museum's commitment to showcasing the diverse artistic traditions of the world. The Safavid period, which lasted from 1501 to 1736, is considered a golden age of Persian art. This painting, with its intricate details, vivid colors, and masterful execution, is a testament to the artistic achievements of this period. The painting's composition, with its dynamic use of space and intricate details, invites the viewer to explore the rich world of Persian mythology and history.
