EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print titled "Royal Hunt, from Isfahan, Iran" takes us back in time to witness a thrilling scene of hunting and royalty. Created by the Islamic School, this gouache on paper artwork measures 42x28 cm and is currently housed at the Institute of Oriental Studies in St. Petersburg, Russia. The image showcases an elaborate royal hunt set amidst the picturesque countryside of Isfahan. A majestic elephant leads the charge as hunters on horseback follow closely behind. The riders don traditional turbans while skillfully wielding their bows and arrows or guns, ready to confront any wild animal that crosses their path. Intriguingly, a fearless hunter can be seen engaging in a fierce battle with a wild cat or lion, showcasing his bravery and prowess. Meanwhile, other members of the hunting party focus their attention on hogs or pigs scattered throughout the landscape. This exquisite piece captures not only the excitement and danger associated with such hunts but also provides insight into the opulent lifestyle enjoyed by royalty during this era. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to each element within the composition. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are transported to another time where nature's untamed beauty intertwines with human ambition and power – truly an awe-inspiring sight captured forever through art.
