EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Khusraw Parviz seated on the Takht-i Taqdis" showcases a mesmerizing scene from the 15th century. This exquisite artwork, created by an Indian School artist, depicts Khusrow II or Khusrow Parviz, the illustrious last king of Iran's Sasanian dynasty. Measuring 15.3 x 17.9 cm and housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA, this detached manuscript folio originates from Firdawsi's Shahnama (Book of Kings). The Shahnama is a legendary epic that narrates tales of ancient Persian kings and heroes. In this particular image, we witness Khusraw Parviz seated regally on his magnificent throne known as Takht-i Taqdis. Adorned with opaque watercolor and gold accents on paper, this miniature painting exudes opulence and grandeur. Surrounded by attendants and courtiers who pay homage to their revered ruler, Khusraw Parviz emanates power and authority. His princely attire signifies his noble lineage while his attendant musicians add a touch of harmony to the scene with their harp and percussion instruments. This masterpiece not only serves as an artistic decoration but also provides insight into Iranian history, mythology, and culture during that era. It stands as a testament to the rich heritage of Islamic art within India's vibrant artistic tradition.
