EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Raja Bikram and the Angels" takes us on a mystical journey into the world of love and spirituality. Created by Nusrati of Bijapur in the 18th century, this illustration is part of the Gulsham-i-Ishq manuscript. In this enchanting scene, we find Raja Bikram, a nobleman adorned in elegant clothes, standing beneath a majestic tree within a vibrant rose garden. Surrounding him are ethereal angels, their presence adding an otherworldly touch to the composition. With delicate brushstrokes and touches of gold, Nusrati skillfully brings these celestial beings to life. The Gulsham-i-Ishq manuscript itself is a treasure trove of poetry written by Nusrati for Sultan Ali Adil Shah II of Bijapur. The verses are composed in Deccani Urdu, reflecting the language spoken by South-central India's Muslim elite during that time. This artwork not only showcases exquisite craftsmanship but also symbolizes deeper themes such as divine love and spiritual connection. Through its stylized depiction and intricate details, it invites viewers to immerse themselves in its beauty while contemplating the profound messages hidden within its pages. Displayed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA, this print serves as a testament to both Indian artistry and Persian influence on artistic traditions during that era. It stands as an enduring reminder of our timeless fascination with mysticism and our eternal quest for love and enlightenment.
