EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable scene from the Shahnama (Book of Kings), an epic Persian poem written by Firdawsi. The artwork, created in the 16th century by the Persian School, depicts Rustam, a legendary hero, kicking back a massive rock that was rolled onto him by Bahman. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper composition bring to life the intensity of this momentous event. Measuring 32.5 x 20.2 cm, this detached folio is part of a dispersed copy of the Shahnama. In addition to Rustam's heroic feat against Bahman's treachery, it is believed that this artwork may also depict Gudarz slaying Piran on a mountain. The border surrounding the central scene features beautifully patterned flowers and animals. This piece was acquired by the Freer Gallery of Art at Smithsonian Institution through various funds and donations. It forms part of their extensive collection dedicated to preserving and showcasing Islamic art from Persia. The combination of mythological elements with exquisite decorative motifs makes this miniature painting an exceptional representation of Persian culture during the Safavid period (1501-1722). Its inclusion in Henri Vever Collection further adds to its historical significance. Overall, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into ancient legends and immerse themselves in the rich artistic heritage of Iran while admiring its meticulous craftsmanship.
