EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Nezami, the renowned Persian poet, as he passionately recounts the enthralling story of Alexander the Great. Dating back to the 12th century but captured in this 18th-century image, Nezami Ganjavi stands as one of Persia's greatest literary figures. The legend of Alexander resonated throughout Islamic art and literature across vast regions, from southern Russia to India's gates, often referred to as Iskander. In this vibrant composition, we witness a fusion of writing, literature, poetry, and religion that characterizes Persian culture. The illuminated manuscript in which Nezami is depicted symbolizes both artistic mastery and religious devotion. As a male figure immersed in storytelling amidst an array of colorful Arabic text and symbols associated with Islam and Iran's rich heritage, he embodies the essence of his time. The photograph not only captures a moment frozen in history but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling itself. It reminds us that even centuries later, we can still be captivated by tales passed down through generations. Through this image created by Alexander the Great himself or perhaps an unknown artist paying homage to him and Nizami Ganjavi’s work; we are transported into an era where poets were revered for their ability to transport listeners into fantastical realms through words alone. This print invites us to appreciate both the beauty within ancient manuscripts and the profound impact they have had on shaping cultures throughout time.
