EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the renowned manuscript "The Seven Princesses" by Elias Nezami. Created in 1199, during the Safavid period, this Persian masterpiece depicts a scene titled "Bahram Visits the Princess of Turkestan". The artwork, dating back to the 16th century, is housed at the Institute of Oriental Studies in St. Petersburg, Russia. In this vibrant miniature painting, we are transported to a luxurious palace interior where Bahram, a Sassanian king from ancient Persia (420-28), pays a visit to the enchanting Princess of Turkestan. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every element portrayed - from intricate patterns adorning the walls and dome to mesmerizing calligraphy written in Persian script. Hospitality takes center stage as musicians serenade their distinguished guests with melodious tunes played on lutes and tambourines. The atmosphere exudes opulence and elegance befitting royalty. Both male and female figures are depicted engaging in conversation within this lavish setting. This stunning work not only exemplifies Islamic art but also serves as a testament to Nezami's exceptional talent as an illustrator. Through his brushstrokes and use of gouache on paper technique, he brings forth an epic poem that captivates viewers even centuries later. As we delve into this remarkable piece of history through Fine Art Finder's high-quality print reproduction, we can appreciate its cultural significance and marvel at its timeless beauty.
