EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Ms C-822 The meeting of Khosro and Chirin in the palace, from the Shahnama" transports us to a mesmerizing scene from Persian history. Created by Abu l-Qasim Manur Firdawsi in the 17th century, this gouache on paper artwork measures 25x17 cm and is housed at the Institute of Oriental Studies in St. Petersburg, Russia. In this enchanting depiction, we witness an extraordinary encounter between two legendary figures: Khosro II, the Sassanid king, and his beloved Chirin. As per Persian folklore and Firdawsi's epic poem Shahnama (Book of Kings), Chirin holds a special place in Khosro's heart as his favorite. The artist skillfully captures the essence of their meeting within the opulent walls of a palace. Vibrant colors bring life to every detail - from intricate Arabic writing adorning the manuscript to delicate brushstrokes that shape each character with precision. This miniature painting not only showcases artistic brilliance but also reflects themes of hospitality and love prevalent throughout Persian culture. It serves as a visual testament to Firdawsi's literary masterpiece that has captivated readers for centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of Persia's rich heritage and its profound impact on art, literature, and civilization as a whole. Let it transport you into an ancient world where kings ruled with grace and passion bloomed amidst grandeur
