EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary figure of Kayumars, also known as Gayomart, who holds a significant place in Persian mythology and history. As depicted in this 15th-century Persian miniature from a manuscript, Kayumars is portrayed as the world's first man according to Zoroastrian creation myth. He is not only revered for his role as the initial human being but also hailed as the inaugural king of the world in Firdausi's renowned Shahnama (Book of Kings). In this mesmerizing artwork, we see Kayumars seated on an ornate royal throne with an air of regality surrounding him. His majestic presence is accentuated by his flowing beard and distinguished mustache, symbolizing wisdom and authority. The artist has paid meticulous attention to detail, capturing every element that adds depth to this mythical tale. A striking feature of this composition is the leopard skin draped across Kayumars' lap—a powerful emblem representing strength and nobility. This visual narrative transports us back to medieval Persia, immersing us into a time where legends were born and myths shaped cultures. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece of artistry, it serves as a reminder of how stories transcend time and continue to inspire generations. It invites us to delve into ancient beliefs while appreciating the artistic mastery behind each stroke that brings these tales alive even centuries later.
