EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The angel Ruh holding the celestial spheres" an exquisite illustration from the Aja ib al-Makhluqat (Wonders of Creation) by Qazwini, dating back to the 16th century. The Persian School's intricate craftsmanship is evident in this ink, color, and gold on paper artwork measuring 30.4x21.2 cm. In this mesmerizing depiction, we witness a figure that embodies movement and spirituality. The angel Ruh gracefully kneels while supporting the celestial spheres with its dynamic wings spread wide open. Symbolically representing wind and motion, this winged being carries immense significance within Arabic iconography. As part of a manuscript text originating from Persia, now Iran, this illuminated masterpiece holds deep religious connotations within Islamic culture. Its holy script serves as a testament to the rich heritage and devotion prevalent during that era. The artist's skillful use of color and gold accents adds an ethereal touch to this divine scene. Every brushstroke seems meticulously placed to capture the essence of Al-Qudus (the Holy), creating a visual feast for those who behold it. Now housed at Ashmolean Museum in Oxford University, UK; eAshmolean Museum proudly displays this remarkable piece from Persian history for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its beauty and cultural significance.
