EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing Calligraphy Painting from Iran, dating back to approximately 1860. Created by the talented Ismail Jalayir, this artwork features a poem written in the elegant nastaliq script, celebrating Nasir al-Din Shah Qajar, the fourth ruler of the Qajar dynasty. The black color palette adds depth and intensity to this elaborate piece of decorative art. The close-up view allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of the calligraphy and its enthralling composition. Opaque watercolor and ink on paste board were skillfully employed by Jalayir to bring this masterpiece to life. As we delve into Iranian heritage art, we are transported back in time to witness a scene that depicts hunting within an enchanting landscape. This painting not only reflects Persian culture but also encompasses elements of Islamic religion and literature. Nasir al-Din Shah Qajar is portrayed as a royal monarch surrounded by his courtiers in this vignette-like representation. The writing itself serves as both an homage to the king's reign and an expression of religious devotion. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artifact stands as a testament to Ismail Jalayir's exceptional talent and creativity. It serves as a reminder of Persia's rich artistic legacy during the 19th century while providing insight into the cultural significance attached to calligraphy within Iranian society. With its blend of poetry, history, religion, and visual aesthetics, this Calligraphy Painting truly captures our imagination
