EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Persian art from the 14th century. Titled "Sindukht learns of Rudabas actions from a Shahnama (Book of kings)", this ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper masterpiece is truly awe-inspiring. The artwork depicts an intense scene where Sindukht, a central character in the Shahnama (Book of Kings) by Firdawsi, discovers Rudaba's actions. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to this historical moment, transporting viewers back to the Mongol period between 1220-1380. Measuring at 59.4 x 40.2 cm, this detached folio was once part of a dispersed copy of the Shahnama. It now resides in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The craftsmanship displayed in this piece is exceptional; every stroke and brushwork reflects the skillful hands behind it. The use of naskh script adds another layer to its beauty and authenticity. As we admire this work, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also its cultural significance within Islamic art and Persian history. This illustration captures an epic tale that has captivated audiences for centuries – one that speaks volumes about power struggles, loyalty, and human nature. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving fine art like this one, we can continue appreciating these masterpieces long after their creation.
