EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning piece of calligraphy from the Late Shahjahan Album, created by the Mughal School in the 16th century. The artwork, measuring 47 x 35 cm, is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The calligraphy, executed with opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper, features an exquisite example of nastaliq script. It beautifully displays a poem written by Mir-Ali al-Sultani under Emperor Shah Jahan's patronage. This detached manuscript folio was once part of Shah Jahan's personal album. The intricate details and delicate craftsmanship are evident throughout this masterpiece. The floral motifs and ornate patterns surrounding the text create a mesmerizing border that adds to its overall grandeur. As we admire this remarkable work of art, we are transported back to India during the Mughal dynasty (1526-1858). It serves as a testament to their rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess. Thanks to generous contributions from various sources such as Dr. Arthur M. Sackler and Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds through their Collections Acquisition Program, this valuable piece has found its rightful place within one of America's most esteemed art institutions. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we can now appreciate and celebrate this extraordinary fusion of Islamic calligraphy and Indian decorative traditions for generations to come.
