Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The royal hunt, Iran, 17th century
Type: Manuscript Painting Medium and Support: Opaque watercolor and gold on paper Credit Line: Gift of Dr. and Mrs. Edwin Binney 3rd Accession Number: 1972.234 State/Province: Isfahan Province Dimensions: 8 in. x 5 1/8 in. (20.32 cm x 13.02 cm) Hunting was a key pastime for nobles and kings of Iran at least as early as the eighth century BCE. In this double-page painting a frenzied group of nobles display their skill in the hunt as they dispatch a variety of prey while galloping on steeds and wielding a range of weapons. The scene, at times perilous for the hunter as well as the hunted, is set within a lyrical Persian landscape with typical golden skies, pastel grounds, and flowing streams. |
