EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed manuscript illumination from the 16th century, depicting the renowned Persian poet Firdausi. Firdausi, also known as FIRDAUSI (c940-c1020), is celebrated for his epic work called Shah Namah or Book of Kings. In this exquisite artwork created by Mirza Ali in c1535, we see Firdausi positioned at the far left of a group portrait. Firdausi's presence commands attention with his dignified appearance and distinctive features. His long white beard gracefully flows down to his chest, symbolizing wisdom and experience gained over many years. He wears traditional Persian clothing adorned with an elegant black robe and a turban that adds to his regal aura. In one hand, Firdausi holds a book, representing his literary genius and contribution to Persian literature. A cane rests beside him, signifying both support and authority. Hanging from his belt is a scabbard indicating readiness for any challenge that may come his way. Mirza Ali's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical figure back to life on paper. The vibrant colors used in this manuscript illumination further enhance its beauty and allure. This stunning photograph print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of FIRDAUSI (c940-c1020) and pays homage to one of Persia's most revered poets whose words continue to inspire generations even today.
