EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the Shahnameh, an epic Persian poem by Firdawsi. In this artwork, titled "Rostam asleep, near his horse and a slaughtered leopard" we witness the mythical hero Rostam in a moment of peaceful slumber. The Persian School's gouache on paper technique brings to life every intricate detail of this enchanting illustration. As Rostam rests beside his loyal horse, he remains blissfully unaware of the magnificent predator that lies before him - a slain leopard. This juxtaposition between tranquility and savagery adds depth to the narrative depicted in this manuscript. The composition skillfully portrays the power and prowess associated with Rostam as he conquers both human adversaries and formidable beasts alike. It is through such mythological tales that Iranian culture celebrates bravery and heroism. Luisa Ricciarini's masterful execution allows us to immerse ourselves in this ancient world where heroes roam alongside wild animals. The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail transport us back in time, evoking emotions of awe and wonder. This artwork serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Persian mythology while showcasing Ricciarini's talent for capturing its essence through her brushstrokes. With each glance at this print, one can't help but be captivated by its beauty and transported into an extraordinary realm where heroes reign supreme.
