EDITORS COMMENTS
Image two of three from the Manuscript of the Tarcuma-Shahnama, or Book of Kings, showcases a vibrant and intricately illustrated scene from this epic poem of Islamic literature. Dating back to the late 16th century, the origin of this manuscript is uncertain, but it is believed to have been produced in Turkey. The opaque ink, watercolor, and gold on paper create a stunning visual representation of a scene from the Shahnameh, an epic poem that recounts the history and legends of the ancient Persian Empire. The image depicts a group of men, possibly warriors or nobles, gathered around a table, deep in conversation. The rich colors and intricate details of their clothing and accessories suggest their high social status. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery and a serene body of water, adding to the tranquil and idyllic atmosphere. The Tarcuma-Shahnama is considered a masterpiece of Islamic art and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Islamic world. The manuscript's intricate illustrations and beautiful calligraphy reflect the artistic and literary achievements of the period. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this important work in its collection, allowing visitors to appreciate the beauty and historical significance of this magnificent manuscript.
