EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning artwork titled "Pair of lovers" created by the Persian School in the late 16th to early 17th century. The piece, measuring 38.6 x 23.1 cm, is composed using ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper. It is currently housed at the Freer Gallery of Art in the Smithsonian Institution in the United States. The painting depicts a mesmerizing scene from ancient Persia during the Safavid period (1501-1722). In this intricate illumination, we witness a couple deeply immersed in their love for each other amidst an enchanting landscape. The vibrant colors and delicate details bring life to every element portrayed - from gracefully patterned horses ridden by hunters to musicians playing melodious tunes. The artwork not only highlights elements of romance but also captures aspects of sport and leisure prevalent during that era. Horse riding and hunting were popular activities among both men and women, as depicted here with a sportswoman participating alongside her male counterpart. With its rich cultural symbolism and exquisite craftsmanship, this masterpiece serves as a testament to Islamic art's beauty and influence throughout history. Its inclusion within the renowned Henri Vever Collection further solidifies its significance within Persian artistic heritage.
