Presenting a dazzling modern handmade reproduction Persian art.
This lively composition may be the earliest depiction of Hushang, the grandson of Kayumars, the first Iranian king. Accompanied by angels, demons, and soldiers who anxiously watch from behind craggy mountains, the young hero bravely slays his supernatural enemy, the Black Demon (div-i siyah). The painting’s heightened sense of drama and excitement extends into the center of the art, where a swooping angel brings a second demon to its knees.
These tales were immortalized by the 10th-century Persian poet Ferdowsi in the Shahnameh, or Epic of Kings, which contains pre-Islamic Iranian folklore and history.
The modern artist has executed the painting in minute delicacy with a marked attention to detail of the battling characters set against a beautiful backdrop of flora & fauna in an outdoor setting.
