EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork titled "Faridun mourns by the Coffin of Iraj" created by the Persian School in the 14th century. The piece, measuring 59.5 x 40 cm, is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The painting is a detached folio from a dispersed copy of Shahnama, also known as the Book of Kings, written by Firdawsi. It depicts an emotional scene where Faridun grieves beside Iraj's coffin. The intricate details and vibrant colors are brought to life through ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper. As part of the Mongol period between 1220-1380 and belonging to the Il-Khanid dynasty (1256-1353), this artwork reflects elements of Naskh script and illuminations commonly found in Persian manuscripts during that era. The image captures not only historical significance but also evokes themes such as death, mourning, and epic tales within Persian culture. It represents a poignant moment in Shahnama when Faridun laments over his son's untimely demise. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, this artwork from Henri Vever Collection stands as a testament to Islamic art's beauty and influence throughout history. Its inclusion in Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder allows viewers worldwide to appreciate its profound artistic value while preserving its legacy for generations to come.
