EDITORS COMMENTS
This view of Ardabil, a city in northwestern Iran, dates back to around 1674 and is believed to have been created by the Dutch artist Gaspar Bouttats, possibly after a design by Jan Peeters. The print showcases the bustling cityscape of Ardabil, with its intricate buildings, winding streets, and the baliqly chay river flowing through the foreground. In the foreground, we see several men, some wearing turbans or head dresses, and a camel and its dromedary companion, adding a sense of scale and liveliness to the scene. Ardabil, located in the present-day East Azerbaijan Province, has a rich history and cultural significance. It was a major center for trade and pilgrimage, particularly due to the presence of the famous shrine of Sheikh Safi al-Din Ardabili. The city's strategic location along the ancient Silk Road further enhanced its importance as a hub for cultural exchange between the East and the West. The print is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Dutch artists of the seventeenth century, who were known for their meticulous attention to detail and their ability to capture the essence of far-off lands. The use of hand coloring and tinting adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical art or Middle Eastern studies. This print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and cultural practices of a city that was once a thriving center of trade, culture, and pilgrimage. The intricate details of the buildings, the bustling activity of the people, and the peaceful flow of the river all combine to create a captivating and evocative image that transports us back in time.
