Jamshid Writing on a Rock, ca 1586
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Abd as-Samad, an esteemed artist from the Mughal Empire. This exquisite piece can be found in the prestigious collection of the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. The image depicts Jamshid, a legendary figure from Persian mythology and literature, engrossed in writing on a rock. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this scene to life, highlighting Abd as-Samad's mastery of manuscript illumination and Persian miniature art. This artwork draws inspiration from Ferdowsi's epic poem "Shahnameh" which chronicles the history and legends of ancient Persia. It pays homage to Zarathustra (Zoroaster), one of Persia's most revered prophets. Through this allegorical representation, Abd as-Samad captures not only historical events but also conveys deeper philosophical ideas prevalent during his time. The use of watercolor, ink, and gold color on paper adds richness and depth to every stroke. As we admire this stunning creation by Khwaja Abdus Samad, we are transported back in time to witness the fusion between Islamic art traditions and Persian literary heritage. This print serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and cultural significance embedded within each brushstroke.
