EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from the renowned Shahnama, also known as the Book of Kings, written by Firdawsi. The recto side features a mesmerizing illustration titled "Bilqis Enthroned" while the verso side presents an exquisite text of preface. Created during the Safavid period in Shiraz, Fars, Iran around 1590-1600, this masterpiece measures 32 x 19.1 cm and is currently housed at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution in the United States. The Persian School's impeccable craftsmanship is evident in this artwork as they employed opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper to bring life to their creation. This folio perfectly captures religious themes and female empowerment through its intricate manuscript illumination. The central focus of this image is Queen Bilqis seated majestically on her throne. Her regal presence radiates strength and grace as she embodies power and authority. The delicate details of her attire are enhanced with vibrant colors that showcase Islamic influences prevalent during that era. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also provides insight into Persian culture and history during this significant period. It exemplifies how art was used to express religious devotion while celebrating influential women like Queen Bilqis who played pivotal roles in shaping society. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, this illuminated miniature transports viewers back in time to appreciate both artistic brilliance and cultural significance within Islamic traditions.
