This stunning image is a page from a 15th century manuscript of the Shahnama, or Book of Kings, by the renowned Persian poet Ferdowsi. The scene depicted is the wedding of Zal and Rudaba, two legendary figures from Iranian mythology and epic poetry. Zal, a nobleman and warrior, is shown on the left, dressed in royal attire and mounted on a magnificent horse. His bride, Rudaba, a beautiful princess, is seated on a throne, adorned with intricate jewelry and a veil. The couple's union is celebrated with music and dancing in the background, while a group of men and women look on in joy. The illustration is executed in opaque watercolor and gold on paper, showcasing the exquisite artistry and craftsmanship of the time. The intricate details of the clothing, the delicate shading, and the vibrant colors all contribute to the richness and beauty of this historic artwork. The manuscript, believed to have been produced in Shiraz, Iran, during the fifteenth century, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Persian culture and its profound influence on Islamic art and literature. The Shahnama is an epic poem that recounts the history of Iran from its mythological origins to the Islamic conquest of Persia. It is considered one of the most important works of Persian literature and has had a profound impact on the cultural and artistic heritage of the Middle East. This page from the manuscript is a captivating reminder of the beauty and complexity of the stories and traditions that have shaped Iranian history and identity.
