EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from a Khamsa (Quintet), created by the Persian School in the 16th century. Measuring 30.5 x 17.9 cm, this exquisite artwork is housed in the Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The folio, detached from a manuscript, features intricate details executed with ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper. It is attributed to Amir Khusraw Dihlavi, an esteemed poet of his time. The acquisition of this masterpiece was made possible through generous contributions from various sources including the Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds and Dr. Arthur M. Sackler. The artwork itself represents Islamic art during the Safavid period (1501-1722) in Persia (modern-day Iran). The delicate calligraphy written in nasta'liq script adds depth and beauty to each poem inscribed on this double-page spread. Adorned with mesmerizing patterns and borders, this folio exemplifies the rich artistic heritage of Persian culture. Its vibrant colors and meticulous illumination make it a true testament to Muslim artistry. Now preserved within the walls of the Freer Gallery of Art, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless elegance and cultural significance.
