EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Bahram Gur slays a dragon in India, 1341" showcases the incredible artistic talent of the Persian School in the 14th century. This masterpiece, created using ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper, measures 36.8 x 30 cm and is housed at the Freer Gallery of Art in the Smithsonian Institution. The image depicts an epic scene from Firdawsi's Shahnama (Book of Kings), where Bahram Gur fearlessly confronts and defeats a menacing dragon during his conquests in India. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this ancient tale to life, capturing the viewer's imagination. This detached folio from a larger manuscript features exquisite calligraphy by Hasan b. Muhammad b. Ali b. Husayni (Mawsili) in black naskh script. It was commissioned by Qiwam al-Dawla wa l-Din during the Inju dynasty's reign in February 1341. The acquisition of this artwork was made possible through generous contributions from various sources such as Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds, Smithsonian Collections Acquisition Program, and Dr. Arthur M. Sackler. With its depiction of archery skills, royal battles, and mythical creatures like dragons intertwined with Islamic art influences, this piece exemplifies both historical significance and artistic brilliance within Persian culture. As we admire this remarkable print captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to a time when legends were born and heroes emerged victorious against all odds.
