"Dara: A Glimpse into Persian History through Art" Step back in time and immerse yourself in the rich history of Persia with these captivating artworks featuring Dara, a prominent figure from ancient times. The first piece takes us to the 16th century, where a Persian miniature depicts the epic battle between Alexander the Great and Darius. The intricate details showcase the intensity of this historic clash. Moving forward, we encounter another masterpiece from the Shahnama of Firdausi. "Alexander Comforts the Dying Darius" captures a poignant moment as compassion transcends rivalry, reminding us of our shared humanity. Intriguingly, an unknown artist brings forth their interpretation in "Iskander Comforts the Dying Darius. " This 1590 artwork beautifully portrays empathy amidst chaos, highlighting that even great conquerors possess compassion. Shifting gears to royalty, we find ourselves witnessing Shah Jahan enthroned alongside his son Dara Shikoh. Painted around 1630-1640 using opaque watercolors and gold on paper, this regal portrait exudes power and familial bond. Delving deeper into history, we encounter another depiction of Prince Dara Shikoh (1615-1659). His enigmatic gaze invites contemplation about his role during tumultuous times when empires clashed for supremacy. A page from Shahnama reveals Iskandar comforting dying Darab; it showcases how art intertwines legends with reality while preserving cultural narratives for generations to come. However, not all tales end happily. In 1659 Aurangzeb presented Emperor Shah Jahan with a grim trophy -Dara Shukoh's severed head. This haunting event reminds us of political rivalries that shaped dynasties but left behind scars etched in history forever. The St. Petersburg Album offers four mesmerizing portraits dating back to c. 1650-60.
