EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment from the Haft awrang (Seven thrones) manuscript, created by Jami in 16th century Iran. The scene depicts an infant witness testifying to Yusuf's innocence, showcasing the intricate artistry of the Persian School during the Safavid dynasty. Measuring at 34.2x23.2 cm, this folio showcases delicate ink work, opaque watercolors, and gold accents on paper. Housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at Smithsonian Institution in USA, this masterpiece is a testament to its historical significance. The composition portrays a religious narrative with deep symbolism and emotion. A female figure holds an innocent child as they both stand before a male authority figure illuminated by divine light. This evokes themes of justice and truth within Islamic culture. The attention to detail in this miniature illustration is awe-inspiring; every brushstroke brings life and vibrancy to each character portrayed. The use of color creates depth and adds richness to their garments while enhancing their expressions. As we delve into this image, we are transported back centuries ago when manuscripts were meticulously crafted by skilled artisans who dedicated their lives to preserving stories through visual art forms. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we can appreciate not only the artistic mastery but also gain insight into Islamic traditions and beliefs that have shaped cultures worldwide for generations.
