EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing piece of Persian art, featuring verses from the renowned Haft Awrang (Seven Thrones) by Jami. Created during the mid-1500s in Iran, most likely in Shiraz, this artwork reflects the artistic brilliance of the Safavid period. Executed with meticulous detail and vibrant colors, opaque watercolor, ink, and gold were skillfully employed on paper to bring these verses to life. The sheet measures 29.6 x 16.2 cm (11 5/8 x 6 3/8 in. ), while the image itself occupies an area of 21 x 13 cm (8 1/4 x 5 1/8 in. ). The poetic verses adorning this composition are a testament to Jami's literary genius. His words resonate with profound meaning and evoke emotions that transcend time and place. Each stroke of calligraphy is imbued with grace and elegance, enhancing the visual impact of this masterpiece. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back to a bygone era when Persian culture flourished under the patronage of Safavid rulers. This artwork serves as a window into their sophisticated tastes and appreciation for beauty. Whether displayed as part of an art collection or cherished individually, this print offers a glimpse into one of Persia's most treasured literary works – an exquisite fusion of poetry and visual artistry that continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
