EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 16th-century Afghan print captures the enchanting scene of Bahram Gur in the Green Palace on a Monday, taken from a folio of Nizami's Khamsa (Quintet). The artwork showcases the rich heritage and artistry of Afghanistan, with intricate decorations and vibrant colors adorning both the interior and exterior of the palace. Bahram Gur, known as King Bahram V, is depicted kneeling inside the palace alongside his seven princess wives. As a polygamous monarch, he is surrounded by beauty and elegance. The Indian miniature style painting beautifully portrays each princess with delicate details and golden hues. The lush garden outside adds to the charm of this composition, featuring patterned pavilions and flourishing flora. This idyllic setting reflects Persian poetry's influence on Afghan culture during that time period. The artist skillfully captures every element within this masterpiece - from the ornate architecture to the expressive faces of each character. It serves as a testament to their talent in creating such captivating works. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece stands as an important representation of Afghan history and literature. Its significance lies not only in its artistic value but also in its ability to transport viewers back to an era filled with royal grandeur and poetic romance.
