EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite illustration of "Ms E-7 fol. 23a The Constellations of the Bull, the Twins and the Crab" from Zakariya ibn Muhammad al-Qazwini's renowned work, "The Wonders of the Creation and the Curiosities of Existence". Created by an Islamic School in the 14th century, this gouache on paper masterpiece is currently housed at the Institute of Oriental Studies in St. Petersburg, Russia. The artwork beautifully depicts three significant constellations - Taurus (the Bull), Gemini (the Twins), and Cancer (the Crab). With intricate details and vibrant colors, it transports viewers into a celestial realm where imagination intertwines with scientific knowledge. Zakariya al-Qazwini was not only a Persian physician but also a cosmographer, astronomer, and geographer who resided in Baghdad during his lifetime. His Arabic cosmography titled "Les Merveilles de la creation et curiosites de l existence" gained immense popularity and was translated into Turkish and Persian languages. In this particular illustration, we see a turbaned figure kneeling beside text that accompanies these cosmic wonders. A ship sailing through calm waters adds an element of adventure to this astronomical scene. As you gaze upon this enchanting artwork captured by Fine Art Finder's lens, let your mind wander among stars while appreciating both its artistic brilliance and historical significance.
