A King Receiving Three Men, page from the Khamsa of Amir Khusrau Dihlavi, 1450-1500
A King Receiving Three Men, page from the Khamsa of Amir Khusrau Dihlavi, 1450-1500. The text on this page discusses the wars between Morocco and Zang, a region of eastern Africa centered in present-day Ethiopia. In the painting the King of Zang meets three envoys. The dramatic gesture of the Zangi king, who stretches out one hand as he takes an enormous stride toward the envoys, identifies him as a powerful, assertive figure. This page is from the first known manuscript of a Persian literary text illustrated by an Indian artist, who had probably been trained in the Jain manuscript tradition. The figures are arranged on one plane in a straight line against a flat red background, typical of manuscript painting in India in the 1400s

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Khamsa of Amir Khusrau Dihlavi, dating back to the late 15th century. The image depicts a significant moment in history, as it portrays the King of Zang engaging with three envoys. The painting's composition is striking, with the Zangi king commanding attention through his powerful and assertive stance. With one hand outstretched and taking an enormous stride towards the envoys, he exudes authority and strength. What makes this artwork even more remarkable is its fusion of artistic traditions. Created by an Indian artist who likely received training in Jain manuscript illustration, this page represents the first known instance of an Indian artist illustrating a Persian literary text. The figures are arranged on a single plane against a vibrant red background, which was characteristic of manuscript paintings in India during the 1400s. Preserved within the Sultanate school style, this ink and color on paper masterpiece now resides at The Cleveland Museum of Art. Its historical significance lies not only in capturing a specific event but also in bridging cultural boundaries through artistry. This print by Heritage Art/Heritage Images allows us to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and its role as a testament to cross-cultural exchange during that era.
