EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from the Khamsa (Quintet) of Nizami, specifically depicting "Alexander and the Circle of Seven Sages". Created in the 15th century, this Indian miniature painting beautifully captures the essence of Persian literature and history. The artwork portrays Alexander III of Macedon, famously known as Alexander the Great, surrounded by seven wise sages. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this historical scene to life. Alexander is depicted wearing a majestic golden headdress, symbolizing his royal status as King of Macedonia. The sages are shown adorned in turbans, representing their wisdom and scholarly nature. This masterpiece is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection and serves as a testament to Iran's rich cultural heritage. It reflects Perso-Arabic influences on art during that era while showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. The image evokes curiosity about ancient debates and education systems prevalent during the fifteenth century.
