The Flight of the Tortoise
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating folio from the Haft awrang (Seven thrones) by Jami, a renowned Persian poet. This exquisite print, dating back to the 16th century Safavid dynasty in Iran, showcases the exceptional skill of the Persian School. Measuring at 34.2x23.2 cm, this ink, opaque watercolor and gold on paper artwork depicts a scene filled with symbolism and intrigue. The central focus is on Sultan Ibrahim Mirza as he embarks on an extraordinary journey atop a majestic tortoise. The intricate details of his regal attire and ornate surroundings are brought to life through meticulous illumination techniques. The composition evokes curiosity and wonder as we witness Sultan Ibrahim Mirza defying gravity while being carried away by this mythical creature. It invites us to ponder upon themes such as power, ambition, and transcendence. Displayed at the Freer Gallery of Art in Smithsonian Institution in USA, this masterpiece exemplifies the rich cultural heritage of Persia during that era. Its preservation allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. As we gaze upon "The Flight of the Tortoise" we are transported into a world where imagination knows no bounds - where even tortoises can take flight. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time and space, leaving an indelible mark on our collective consciousness for generations to come.
