EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent turkey-cock, gifted to Jahangir from Goa in 1612. The artwork is part of the Wantage Album, created by the talented Mughal artist Mansur (Ustad Mansur) during his flourishing period between 1590 and 1630. Painted with exquisite detail using gouache on paper, this piece now resides in the prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The turkey-cock takes center stage, its vibrant feathers beautifully captured by Mansur's skilled hand. Every intricate detail of this exotic bird is brought to life through delicate brushstrokes and vivid colors. The viewer can almost hear its proud call as it struts confidently within the frame. Surrounded by an ornate border that complements the regality of the subject matter, this artwork exemplifies both artistic mastery and cultural exchange between India and Goa during this historical era. It serves as a testament to Jahangir's appreciation for unique gifts from distant lands and his patronage of renowned artists like Mansur. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment when artistry met diplomacy, showcasing nature's beauty through human creativity. This image invites us to marvel at both the talent of Ustad Mansur and the rich tapestry of history that connects nations across continents.
