EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene from the Sama Ceremony, depicted in a miniature from a manuscript of the Divan of Hafez dating back to 1512. Created by an anonymous artist, this exquisite piece is part of a private collection and represents the rich cultural heritage of Iran. The Sama Ceremony holds deep significance within Persian literature and Islamic art. It portrays a group of Sufis engaging in spiritual dance and music, symbolizing their devotion to God. The vibrant colors and intricate details captured through pigment painting on paper truly bring this momentous event to life. As we delve into this masterpiece, we are transported to Isfahan, Persia during the 16th century. The graceful movements of the dancers reflect their inner journey towards enlightenment as they lose themselves in divine ecstasy. This form of worship known as sama has its roots in Mevlevi tradition and serves as both a physical expression and mystical experience for participants. Through this artwork, we witness not only the beauty but also the profound connection between music, mythology, allegory, and literature within Persian culture. The presence of Hafez's Divan adds another layer to its significance since he was one of Persia's most celebrated poets. This print stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Persian miniature artistry while providing us with an enchanting glimpse into ancient traditions that continue to inspire awe today.
