Iskandar Finds Khizr and Ilyas at the Fountain of Immortality
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating page from a 15th century Iranian manuscript of the Khamsa (Quintet) of Nizami, a renowned work of Persian literature. The scene depicted in this exquisite artwork, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is taken from the Iskandarnama, which narrates the adventures of the legendary hero, Iskandar (Alexander the Great), as he embarks on a quest to obtain the five treasures, or Panj Ganj, of the world. In this illustration, Iskandar is shown on horseback, surrounded by a menagerie of animals, including horses, elephants, and camels. He is dressed in rich robes and adorned with gold and precious stones, reflecting his regal status. The two revered figures, Khizr and Ilyas, are seen seated at the fountain of immortality, their faces serene and wise. Khizr, the eternal guardian of travelers, holds a staff with a flag, while Ilyas, the prophet, gestures towards Iskandar, inviting him to drink from the fountain and gain eternal life. The artwork is a stunning example of 15th century Islamic art, with intricate details and vibrant colors. The use of opaque watercolor and gold on paper creates a rich and textured effect, adding to the otherworldly atmosphere of the scene. This masterpiece, originating from Shiraz, a cultural center of Persia, is a testament to the artistic and literary heritage of the Middle East. The mysterious and magical elements of the story, combined with the masterful execution of the artwork, make this page a captivating and enduring work of art.
