EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from a Khamsa (Quintet) by Nizami, an exquisite piece of Persian art dating back to the 16th century. The recto and verso sides of this detached manuscript folio are adorned with intricate texts that tell the twelfth discourse: on the lamentation of fortune. Measuring at 26.4x17.2 cm, or approximately 10 3/8 x 6 3/4 inches, this masterpiece is currently housed in the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution in the United States. Created using opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper by artists from the Persian School, this artwork exemplifies their exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The acquisition of this folio was made possible through generous contributions from various sources including Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds and Dr. Arthur M. Sackler. The delicate floral motifs combined with beautifully written poems make this manuscript folio truly mesmerizing to behold. It is part of the renowned Henri Vever Collection and originates from Iran's rich artistic heritage. As we admire this stunning image captured by Bridgeman Images, it serves as a reminder of how art transcends time and space, allowing us to appreciate centuries-old masterpieces like this one even today.
