EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the 14th-century Islamic manuscript, "The Wonders of the Creation and the Curiosities of Existence" by Zakariya ibn Muhhamed al-Qazwini. The artwork, created by an unknown artist from the Islamic School, showcases a merchant from Isfahan in flight. In this detailed depiction, we see the merchant gracefully soaring through the sky with outstretched arms resembling wings. His vibrant attire and turban indicate his Persian heritage while adding to the overall visual appeal of the composition. The artist's use of gouache on paper brings depth and richness to every brushstroke. What makes this image truly extraordinary is that instead of conventional wings, our protagonist is supported by majestic birds - cranes and storks - symbolizing freedom and transcendence. This fusion between human and avian elements creates a sense of wonderment as it challenges traditional notions of what is possible. Through this artwork, Al-Qazwini explores themes such as flight, exploration, and limitless possibilities. It serves as a reminder that humans have always been fascinated by their ability to defy gravity and reach new heights both physically and metaphorically. Preserved at St. Petersburg's Institute of Oriental Studies in Russia, this remarkable piece continues to inspire awe centuries after its creation. Its timeless beauty invites us to reflect on our own aspirations for personal growth while appreciating the artistic achievements of Islamic culture throughout history.
