EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent artwork titled "Suleyman enthroned" created by the Persian School in the 16th century. Measuring 41.2 x 26.8 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The artwork is a detached manuscript folio from "Garden of Purity on the Lives of the Prophets, Kings, and Caliphs" authored by Khwandshah (Mirkhwand) who lived until 1498. The calligrapher responsible for this stunning piece is Inayatullah al-katib al-Shirazi. Featuring opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper, this composition portrays Suleyman seated majestically on his throne. It belongs to the Safavid period (1501-1722), an era known for its rich Islamic art heritage. The intricate Nastaliq script adorns this work alongside exquisite patterns and borders that reflect Persian artistic traditions. This fusion of Arabic calligraphy and decorative elements creates a harmonious visual experience. "Suleyman enthroned" captures not only religious symbolism but also represents political power during Ottoman times when Suleiman was an emperor and sultan ruling over vast territories. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' fine art finder platform, viewers can appreciate every detail of this remarkable piece without any commercial use implications. It serves as a testament to Iran's cultural legacy while
