The game of wolf-running in Tabriz, from an Akbar-nama (Book of Akbar), c. 1595-1600
The game of wolf-running in Tabriz, from an Akbar-nama (Book of Akbar), c. 1595-1600. After four years of traveling in exile, fleeing Afghan forces, Humayun reached Tabriz, the glittering capital of the Safavid dynasty in northwestern Iran, here imaginatively rendered by the Indian artist. There the second Mughal emperor enjoyed warm hospitality extended by the shah of Iran, who called for a game of wolf-running for which the city was famous. Artists painting during the time of Akbar, late in his reign when historical subjects dominated, speculated as to how the game was played, based on eyewitness accounts. They gave the figures lively emotive expressions and gestures, and the dense crowding successfully conveys the pandemonium of the scene

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene from the 16th century, depicting "The game of wolf-running in Tabriz" as illustrated in an Akbar-nama (Book of Akbar) dating back to 1595-1600. The image transports us to Tabriz, the resplendent capital of the Safavid dynasty in northwestern Iran, where Humayun sought refuge after four years of exile and fleeing Afghan forces. In this imaginative rendition by an Indian artist, we witness the warm hospitality extended by the Shah of Iran towards Humayun, who called for a game that was famous in Tabriz - wolf-running. Although historical accounts provided limited details on how this game was played, artists during Akbar's reign used their creative prowess to speculate and bring it to life. The figures depicted exude lively emotive expressions and gestures, while the dense crowding successfully conveys the pandemonium inherent in such a thrilling spectacle. Painted using opaque watercolor and adorned with gold accents on paper, this masterpiece exemplifies Mughal artistry at its finest. Preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection by Heritage Art/Heritage Images (not affiliated with any company), this print allows us to delve into history and marvel at India's rich cultural heritage.
