EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Habib al-siyar (Beloved of virtues)" created by the Persian School in the 16th century. Measuring 41.3 x 26.6 cm, this masterpiece is housed at the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The painting, executed with opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper, exemplifies the rich artistic traditions of Persia during the Safavid period (1501-1722). Created by Muhammad Khwandamir around 1590-1600, it features intricate details and vibrant colors that bring life to every element depicted. The manuscript is adorned with beautiful Arabic calligraphy in black, red, and gold nasta liq script - a distinctive style known for its elegance and fluidity. The artist's skillful use of illumination further enhances its visual appeal. Within this enchanting composition lies a harmonious blend of animals and decorative patterns that reflect Islamic art's influence on Persian culture. The delicate borders add an additional layer of intricacy to this remarkable piece. As part of Henri Vever Collection and acquired through various funds including Dr. Arthur M. Sackler's contribution, this artwork has become a treasured possession within Smithsonian Collections Acquisition Program. Through Bridgeman Images' lens capturing every detail with precision and clarity, viewers can appreciate not only the beauty but also delve into Iran's rich cultural heritage showcased in this stunning work from centuries past.
