EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical moment when Shah Anushirvan, a legendary figure in Persian history, successfully captures the formidable Fortress of Saqila. Created by an Iranian master artist, this exquisite piece of artwork can be found in the prestigious collection of The David Collection. The image transports us back to ancient Persia during the Sasanian Empire, where mythology and literature intertwine with real-life events. It is believed that this scene is inspired by Ferdowsi's epic poem, the Book of Kings (Shahnameh), which narrates tales from Persian history and folklore. Rendered delicately using watercolour and gouache on paper, this Persian miniature reflects both Islamic art influences and Byzantine Empire aesthetics. The attention to detail is remarkable as it portrays Shah Anushirvan leading his troops into battle against Justinian's Eastern Roman Empire forces. Anushiravan was renowned for his just rule and wise governance; hence he earned the title "Anushiravan the Just". This artwork not only commemorates a significant military victory but also symbolizes justice prevailing over tyranny. With its rich historical context and artistic brilliance, this print serves as a visual gateway into Persia's glorious past. It invites viewers to delve deeper into Persian culture while appreciating fine art images that beautifully blend mythology, allegory, literature, and history.
