EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Bahram Gur and the princess in the Black Pavilion" created by the Persian School in the 16th century. The piece, measuring 41.7 x 27.7 cm, is housed at the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The image depicts a scene from Nizami's Khamsa (Quintet) Haft paykar (Seven beauties), featuring Bahram Gur, a legendary king of Persia, and a princess within the enchanting Black Pavilion. Painted with opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper during Iran's Safavid period (1501-1722), this masterpiece exemplifies Islamic art at its finest. Intricate details come to life as we witness musicians playing various instruments such as lutes and percussion instruments while dancers gracefully move to their melodies. The opulent palace interior adorned with patterned borders and domes adds an air of grandeur to this mesmerizing composition. This particular print is part of Henri Vever's collection and was acquired through generous contributions from Dr. Arthur M. Sackler along with funds from Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds and Smithsonian Collections Acquisition Program. As we admire this remarkable piece of Persian artistry, it serves as a testament to both cultural heritage and artistic excellence that continues to captivate viewers worldwide for centuries beyond its creation date.
