The Lovers dated A. H. 1039 / A. D. 1630 Painting by Reza Abbasi
The artist Reza Abbasi revolutionized Persian painting and drawing with his inventive use of calligraphic line and unusual palette. He painted The Lovers toward the end of a long, successful career at the Safavid court. The subject of a couple entwined reflects a newly relaxed attitude to sensuality introduced in the reign of Shah Safi (r. 1629-42). Here the figures are inextricably bound together, merged volumes confined within one outline

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Lovers" a remarkable painting by the renowned artist Reza Abbasi. Dating back to A. H. 1039 / A. D. 1630, this masterpiece exemplifies Abbasi's groundbreaking approach to Persian painting and drawing. Abbasi's artistic genius is evident in his innovative use of calligraphic lines and unconventional color palette, which set him apart from his contemporaries. "The Lovers" was created during the later years of Abbasi's illustrious career at the Safavid court, where he left an indelible mark on Persian art. In this particular artwork, we witness a significant shift in societal attitudes towards sensuality during the reign of Shah Safi (r. 1629-42). The subject matter portrays a couple deeply entwined with each other, symbolizing their profound emotional connection and physical intimacy. What makes this piece truly extraordinary is how Abbasi merges the figures together within one outline, creating a sense of unity between them. Their intertwined forms become inseparable volumes that beautifully encapsulate their love for one another. As you gaze upon this exquisite print of "The Lovers" allow yourself to be transported into a world where passion and tenderness intertwine effortlessly. It serves as both a testament to Reza Abbasi's artistic brilliance and an exploration of human connection that transcends time and culture.
