EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the emotional scene depicted in "Faridun goes to Irajs palace and mourns, 1330-40". Created by the Persian School in the 14th century, this artwork showcases intricate details through ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper. Measuring at 59.3 x 40.1 cm, it is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The image portrays a pivotal moment from Shahnama (Book of kings) by Firdawsi. Faridun, overcome with grief and sorrow, visits Iraj's palace to mourn his death. The painting beautifully depicts a lush garden surrounding an opulent palace where Faridun stands as he weeps for his lost loved one. This masterpiece reflects elements of Persian culture during the Mongol period (1220-1380) under the Il Khanid dynasty (1256-1353). The exquisite illumination and use of Naskh script showcase Islamic art influences prevalent in Persia during that era. Originally part of Henri Vever's collection, this artwork now serves as a testament to Persian history and storytelling traditions. It transports viewers into a world filled with epic tales of kingship and tragedy while paying homage to Iranian heritage. As we gaze upon this stunning piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of its significance not only as an artistic creation but also as a window into centuries-old narratives that continue to
