EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Lawa ih (Effulgences of light)" created by the Persian School in the 16th century. Measuring 29 x 18.2 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The artwork, crafted with ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper, is a mystical treatise written by Jami and features intricate calligraphy executed by Mir Ali Haravi. The manuscript was commissioned by Nawwab Durmish Khan and beautifully adorned with Persian black and gold nasta liq script. The image captures a moment from Safavid period Persia (1501-1722), depicting an opulent palace interior where musicians gather to entertain a princess. The scene exudes elegance as lute players and percussionists create melodious tunes amidst stunning decorative borders. This remarkable piece exemplifies Persian art's rich heritage with its meticulous patterns, illuminated miniatures, and Islamic influences. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and intellectual pursuits during medieval times. Acquired through various funding sources including Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds and Dr. Arthur M. Sackler's contributions, this photograph from Bridgeman Images allows viewers to appreciate the beauty of this historical artifact that continues to inspire awe centuries later.
