EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A shoemaker and his unfaithful wife from Lights of Canopus" takes us back to the 19th century Persian world. The ink and pigment on paper artwork, created by an anonymous Persian School artist, measures 35x21.5 cm and is housed in the prestigious Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, USA. The image depicts a powerful scene from Anvar-i Suhayli (the Lights of Canopus), a Persian version of the ancient Indian collection of animal fables known as Panchatantra. In this particular folio, we witness a moral lesson unfold before our eyes. A starry-eyed shoemaker discovers his wife's infidelity, beautifully illustrating human behavior through anthropomorphized animals living in India. The intricate details painted on paper transport us to another time and place - Persia during the Qajar era. The furniture and furnishings surrounding the couple's bed add depth to their story while emphasizing morality and light as central themes. With its rich cultural references, this illustration not only showcases Iranian artistry but also highlights the interconnectedness between different civilizations throughout history. It serves as a reminder that stories have no boundaries; they transcend time and geography. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece, let it inspire us to reflect on our own actions and choices within relationships. Just like the shoemaker facing betrayal from his unfaithful wife, may we find strength in understanding morality's importance in our lives today.
