EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Two pigeons, Buzandah and Navuzandah from Lights of Canopus". Created by the Persian School in the 19th century, this ink and pigment on paper masterpiece measures 35x21.5 cm and is housed at the prestigious Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, USA. Folio 12b from Ms. W. 599, a copy of Anvar-i Suhayli (the Lights of Canopus), features prominently in this artwork. This Persian version by Mirza Rahim of Kalilah wa-Dimnah (The Fables of Bidpay) takes inspiration from an ancient Indian collection of animal fables known as Panchatantra. The narrative follows Burzuyah, a Persian physician who embarks on a mission to India where he stumbles upon a book filled with stories narrated by anthropomorphized animals residing there. In this particular illustration, two pigeons named Buzandah and Navuzandah take center stage against a backdrop that symbolizes morality and light. Through their behavior, these avian characters offer valuable lessons that can be applied to human life. The skilled Iranian artist masterfully brings these feathered creatures to life through intricate details and vibrant colors. Their presence within a dovecote adds depth to the composition while highlighting their significance within Persian culture. This remarkable piece not only showcases artistic prowess but also serves as a reminder of the enduring power behind ancient tales that transcend
