EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from a Khamsa (Quintet) by Nizami, a renowned Persian poet who lived in the 12th century. The recto and verso of this detached manuscript folio are adorned with intricate texts, creating an exquisite piece of art. Created around 1575 by the Persian School, this masterpiece measures approximately 26.5x17.2 cm. The opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper bring life to the delicate details found within this composition. Currently housed at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in the Smithsonian Institution in the United States, this artwork was acquired through various sources including Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds and Dr. Arthur M. Sackler himself. The folio contains poems that have been meticulously stenciled onto its surface, showcasing both artistic skill and literary brilliance. This particular piece is part of the Henri Vever Collection and features elements such as foxes that add depth and symbolism to its overall meaning. With its rich history and cultural significance, this print serves as a window into ancient Persia's artistic heritage. It invites viewers to appreciate not only Nizami's poetic genius but also the craftsmanship of those who brought his words to life on paper centuries ago.
