EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing illustration of a rhinoceros from the 14th-century manuscript, "The Wonders of the Creation and the Curiosities of Existence" by Zakariya ibn Muhammad al-Qazwini. Created by an Islamic School artist using gouache on paper, this artwork is now housed in the Institute of Oriental Studies in St. Petersburg, Russia. Zakariya al-Qazwini, a renowned Persian physician, cosmographer, astronomer, and geographer who resided in Baghdad during his lifetime (1203-83), authored this remarkable cosmography written in Arabic. Titled "Les Merveilles de la creation et curiosites de l existence" it gained immense popularity and was later translated into Turkish and Persian languages. The intricate details captured within this illustration are awe-inspiring. The artist skillfully portrays the majestic rhinoceros with precision and finesse. Every contour of its rugged skin is meticulously depicted through vibrant colors that bring life to this ancient masterpiece. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness one of nature's most extraordinary creatures as seen through the eyes of an accomplished medieval illustrator. This artwork serves as a testament to both human creativity and our eternal fascination with the wonders found within our natural world.
