EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the 19th century, we witness a fierce battle between Rustam, the legendary hero of the Persian epic poem Shahnameh, and a menacing demon. The French School artist skillfully captures the intensity of this mythical encounter. Rustam, adorned in his warrior attire, stands tall with unwavering determination as he confronts his supernatural adversary. With every muscle tensed and his weapon raised high, he epitomizes courage and valor in the face of danger. The demon, depicted with grotesque features and fiery eyes, exudes an aura of malevolence. Its monstrous form seems to writhe in agony as it clashes against Rustam's indomitable spirit. This clash between good and evil is beautifully portrayed through intricate details that bring life to this ancient tale. This artwork is part of Les Arts Meconnus - Les Nouveaux Musees du Trocadero by Emile Soldi (Paris, 1881), showcasing lesser-known artistic treasures. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of poetry and mythology across cultures. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness an epic confrontation that has captivated audiences for centuries. It reminds us of our shared human fascination with heroes who rise above adversity and fight for what they believe in. Through its historical significance and rich symbolism, this engraving invites us to delve deeper into Iranian folklore while appreciating the timeless themes of bravery and conflict that resonate within all cultures
