EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical moment of Ali and Aisha at the Battle of the Camel, captured in a Rawzat al-safa manuscript from the 16th century. The artwork, created by Persian School artists using opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper, measures 41.3 x 27.6 cm and is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The scene depicted here is part of a detached manuscript folio from Garden of Purity on the lives of prophets, kings, and caliphs by Khwandshah (Mirkhwand). The intricate calligraphy work was skillfully done by Inayatullah al-katib al-Shirazi. This acquisition was made possible through generous funding from various sources including Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds and Dr. Arthur M. Sackler. The image captures an intense battlefield where Ali engages with Aisha during this significant event in Islamic history. The Safavid period setting adds to its cultural significance as it represents Persia's rich artistic heritage during that era. With its stunning illumination techniques and beautifully patterned borders showcasing Nastaliq script, this artwork exemplifies Islamic art's mastery while providing valuable insights into religious narratives within Muslim culture. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, viewers can now appreciate this remarkable piece without any commercial implications or restrictions on usage rights.
