EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases a mesmerizing scene from the Shahnama (Book of Kings), an ancient Persian epic written by Firdawsi. In this artwork titled "Iskandar builds the iron Rampart" we witness Iskandar, also known as Alexander the Great, embarking on a remarkable endeavor at the edge of civilization. As Iskandar reaches the mythical lands of Gog and Magog, he encounters savage creatures that threaten to unleash chaos upon his kingdom. To protect his people from these evil beings, Iskandar commands the construction of two colossal walls made from iron, copper, and carbon. The sheer magnitude and strength of these walls are depicted with intricate detail in this painting. The vibrant colors created using opaque watercolor and gold accents bring life to every element within the artwork. The meticulous brushwork beautifully captures both the grandeur of Iskandar's vision and the ferocity of Gog and Magog. This masterpiece is part of Freer Gallery's collection at Smithsonian Institution in USA. Its acquisition was made possible through generous contributions from various sources including Dr. Arthur M. Sackler. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness one of history's greatest conquerors taking decisive action against formidable adversaries. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination when faced with daunting challenges – a timeless reminder that even in mythological realms, heroes rise to protect their people from darkness.
