EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Mihrab Hears of Rudabehs Folly" takes us back to the mid-16th century, immersing us in a world of fiction and religion. This intricate watercolor and gilt on paper artwork, created by an anonymous Persian artist from the renowned Persian School, measures 47x31.7 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The image depicts a grand interior scene where a large group of people, both men and women, gather around Mihrab as he listens attentively to the news of Rudabeh's folly. The princess herself stands amidst the crowd, her presence commanding attention. The painting draws inspiration from the famous epic poem "Shahnameh" by Abul Qasim Ferdowsi. With its rich decorative techniques and vibrant colors, this piece showcases the skillful craftsmanship of Persian artists during that era. It beautifully captures themes such as monarchy, religion (Zoroastrianism), courtiership, poetry (Ferdowsi being named poet), and Islamic art. As we delve into this historic masterpiece, we are transported to an olden time when royalty reigned supreme and literature played a significant role in shaping society. The exquisite details invite us to explore every nook and cranny within this two-story niche while pondering upon concepts like folly and human nature. This print serves as a testament to the enduring beauty of Asian artistry while offering glimpses into Persia's cultural heritage during the early 16th century. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today with its blend of history, religion, storytelling prowess, and artistic excellence.
