EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artistry of Mir 'Ali Haravi Shah Jahan, a renowned 17th-century Indian miniature painter. The image is part of the Shah Jahan Album, a collection of masterpieces created during the reign of Emperor Shah Jahan. The print features an Unwan, or title page, which serves as an introduction to the album. It displays intricate patterns and script in Perso-Arabic style, meticulously painted with vibrant watercolors and gold accents. The attention to detail and skillful execution highlight Mir 'Ali Haravi's talent as a miniaturist. The recto side of the print presents a mesmerizing depiction of Emperor Shah Jahan himself. Dressed in regal attire and adorned with jewels, he exudes power and authority. The artist captures his likeness with precision while infusing it with grace and elegance. On the verso side, we are treated to another stunning composition by Mir 'Ali Haravi. This time, it portrays Jan Mir Khurram (Shah Jahan's birth name) seated on a magnificent throne surrounded by opulent decorations. The use of color and intricate patterns adds depth to this royal scene. As we admire this remarkable piece from India's rich artistic heritage at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), we can't help but marvel at its beauty and historical significance. It serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship that flourished during the Mughal era in Hindoostan (India).
