EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from a Khamsa (Quintet) by Nizami, created by the Iranian school in the 16th century. The artwork, measuring 16.9x13.5 cm, is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The image on this particular recto depicts Alexander the Great and his army engaged in an exhilarating hunt on the vast plains of China. Painted with ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper, it beautifully captures the grandeur and excitement of this ancient sport. The calligraphy work by Murshid al-Shirazi adds another layer of artistry to this masterpiece. The Persian text written in black nasta liq script provides context to Nizami's Iskandarnama within his larger Khamsa collection. Not only does this folio impress with its artistic brilliance but also with its historical significance as it offers a glimpse into Safavid-era Shiraz culture and Persian literature. Gifted to the Freer Gallery by Charles Lang Freer himself, this extraordinary piece represents centuries-old craftsmanship that continues to inspire awe today. It serves as a testament to human creativity and our enduring fascination with falconry, hunting traditions, and legendary figures like Alexander the Great.
