EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lawa ih (Effulgences of Light)" takes us back to the Safavid period in Herat, Iran. Created by the talented artist Husayni, Mir Ali Al around 1521-25, this masterpiece showcases a harmonious blend of opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper. Measuring 29 x 18.2 cm, it is currently housed at the prestigious Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in Washington D. C. , part of the Smithsonian Institution. The artwork depicts a mesmerizing scene that transports viewers into an ethereal world filled with spirituality and tranquility. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life a garden setting where individuals engage in religious practices inspired by Sufism – a mystical branch of Islam. As we delve deeper into this visual treatise on Islamic beliefs and traditions, we are introduced to Nawwab Durmish Khan - possibly one of the figures portrayed within this piece. The illumination techniques employed here further enhance its beauty and significance as an illuminated manuscript. With its rich cultural heritage and profound symbolism rooted in Muslim religion and philosophy, "Lawa ih (Effulgences of Light)" serves as a testament to the artistic brilliance prevalent during the Safavid era. This remarkable artwork not only offers aesthetic pleasure but also invites contemplation on spiritual matters for those who appreciate Islamic art or seek to explore its historical context further.
