EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from the 15th century, depicting a nobleman on horseback and a man lying on the ground. The artwork, created by an Indian School artist, measures 19.6 x 13.7 cm and is currently housed in the San Diego Museum of Art in the USA. The image is derived from the Shahnameh, also known as the Book of Kings, which was written by Persian poet Ferdowsi between 977 and 1010. This epic poem narrates tales of ancient Persian history and mythology. In this particular scene, we witness a moment filled with intrigue and mystery. The nobleman sits atop his majestic steed while gazing down at the fallen man on the ground. The vibrant colors used in this opaque watercolor painting bring life to both characters as well as their surroundings. The composition not only captures our attention but also invites us to ponder its deeper meaning. Is it a depiction of power dynamics? Or perhaps it represents themes of triumph or defeat? Whatever interpretation one may derive from this artwork, there is no denying its artistic brilliance and historical significance. As part of Edwin Binney's esteemed collection at the San Diego Museum of Art, this piece serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with storytelling through art across different cultures throughout history.
