EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Angel Israfil" created by the Ottoman School in the 16th century. Measuring at 29.6 x 20.3 cm, this exquisite artwork is housed in the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution in the USA. Believed to be from Iran or Turkey, this piece depicts Israfil, one of four Islamic archangels, blowing a trumpet before Armageddon. Israfil stands tall and majestic with his wings spread wide against a stunning landscape backdrop. The artist skillfully used opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper to bring out intricate details and vibrant colors that add depth to this masterpiece.
