EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases "Ali lifts the gates of Qamus" from a Rawzat al-safa, an exquisite manuscript dating back to 1571-72. This masterpiece, created by the Persian School in the 16th century, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Persia. Measuring at 41.3 x 27.5 cm, this opaque watercolor painting on paper is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The artwork depicts a pivotal moment where Ali, one of Islam's revered figures, triumphantly raises the gates of Qamus. This detached manuscript folio originates from Khwandshah's Garden of Purity and focuses on narrating stories about prophets, kings, and caliphs. The intricate calligraphy work by Inayatullah al-katib al-Shirazi adds another layer of beauty to this already mesmerizing piece. With its vibrant colors and delicate gold accents adorning every corner, this artwork exemplifies Islamic art at its finest. It transports viewers back to Safavid-era Persia (1501-1722), immersing them in a world filled with history and religious significance. As part of Bridgeman Images' collection from Fine Art Finder, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship but also serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to cultural expression and storytelling.
