EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Bahram Gur wins the crown" from a Shahnama, created in 1518 by the Persian School during the 16th century. Measuring at 29 x 19.4 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The image depicts a pivotal moment from Firdawsi's epic poem, Shahnama (Book of Kings), where Bahram Gur triumphantly claims his rightful place as king. The intricate details and vibrant colors are brought to life through ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper. The composition transports us to an enchanting landscape filled with lush greenery and majestic deer roaming freely. Lions stand guard as symbols of strength and power while adding an element of danger to the scene. The Nastaliq script gracefully weaves throughout, narrating this legendary tale for all to behold. This piece exemplifies Safavid period artistry (1501-1722) with its ornate decoration and meticulous attention to detail. It serves as a testament to Persian culture and Islamic art traditions that have influenced generations. Thanks to generous contributions from various sources including Dr. Arthur M. Sackler, this remarkable work now resides within public domain collections for all admirers of fine art worldwide.
