EDITORS COMMENTS
Shirin Sees a Portrait of Khusraw" is a breathtaking page from a mid-15th century manuscript of the Khamsa of Nizami, an epic poem of love and tragedy in the Persian language. The scene depicted in this exquisite work of art showcases the moment when Shirin, a beautiful and passionate woman, encounters a portrait of Khusraw, the king she has long been enamored with. The page is a stunning example of Islamic art, created using ink opaque watercolor and gold on paper. The figures are rendered with intricate detail and vibrant color, bringing the story to life. Khusraw, a handsome and regal man, is depicted in the portrait, playing an instrument with an air of confidence and charm. Shirin, with her expressive face and flowing robes, gazes at the portrait with rapt attention, her emotions clearly visible. This page is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Middle East and the enduring power of literature and art to transport us to another time and place. The Khamsa of Nizami, also known as the "Five Treasures," is a collection of five interconnected stories, each featuring a different hero and heroine. This scene is from the story of Khusrow and Shirin, one of the most famous and beloved tales of Persian literature. The page is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is preserved for future generations to appreciate and study. The intricate lettering and script that adorns the page add to its beauty and historical significance, making it a valuable addition to the annals of world art and literature.
