Description
"The Story of the Princess of the Blue Pavillion: The Youth of Rum Is Entertained in a Garden by a Fairy and her Maidens", Folio from a Khamsa (Quintet) of Amir Khusrau Dihlavi. Artist: Painting by Manohar (active ca. 1582-1624). Calligrapher: Muhammad Husain Kashmiri (active ca. 1560-1611). Dimensions: H. 9 3/4 in. (24.8 cm)
W. 6 1/4 in. (15.9 cm). Poet: Amir Khusrau Dihlavi (1253-1325). Date: 1597-98.
Approximately one century after the Persian poet Nizami wrote his Khamsa (Quintet), the Indian poet Amir Khusrau Dihlavi composed a response using Nizami's structure but varying his stories slightly. This painting comes from the Mughal emperor Akbar's (r. 1550-1605) copy of Amir Khusrau's verses. It depicts a story told by a princess to the king Bahram Gur, about a youth and the fairy queen he imagines meeting nightly in a lush garden. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
