EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning folio, dating back to the late 16th century, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Indian subcontinent during the Mughal Empire. The recto side of the folio showcases the "Attack of the People of Hams," a dynamic and intricately detailed battle scene. The vibrant opaque watercolor, gold, and ink on paper depicts a fierce battle between two groups of men, possibly representing the forces of the Syrian Caliph and the Mughal Emperor Akbar. The use of color and contrast adds depth and energy to the scene, making it a captivating example of Mughal painting. On the verso side, the folio reveals its other dimension as a beautiful piece of calligraphy. The elegant script, written in gold and ink, is a sample from the Tarikh-i Alfi, a historical chronicle commissioned by Emperor Akbar. The calligraphy is a masterclass in the Mughal school of lettering, demonstrating the great skill and precision of the artist. This folio, originating from the Indian subcontinent, is a significant representation of the artistic and cultural exchanges between Asia and Europe during the late 16th century. It is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich history and artistic achievements of the Mughal Empire.
