Summary[edit]

Description
English: QARA KHAN USTAJLU AND THE SAFAVID ARMY ATTACK THE OTTOMAN FORCE OF MUSTAFA PASHA SUPPLIED WITH ARTILLERY, FROM BIJAN'S TARIKH-I JAHANGUSTA-YI KHAQAN SAHIBQIRAN, ATTRIBUTABLE TO MU'IN MUSAVVIR, SAFAVID IRAN, CIRCA 1640

QARA KHAN USTAJLU ET L'ARMEE SAFAVIDE ATTAQUANT LES TROUPES OTTOMANES DE MUSTAFA PASHA ATTRIBUABLE A MU'IN MUSAVVIR, IRAN SAFAVIDE, CIRCA 1640 Scène tirée du Tarikh-i Jahangusta-yi Khaqan Sahibqiran, gouache sur papier réhaussée d'or, dépeignant une scène de taille acharnée dans un paysage montagneux, avec une ligne de texte en nasta'liq dans un nuage sur fond d'or de part et d'autre, la miniature bordée de marges finement enluminées à l'or Folio 31,5 x 22 cm. (12½ x 8½ in.)

Cette miniature provient d'une copie dispersée de l'oeuvre de Bijan, le Tarikh-i Jahangusta-Yi Khaqan Sahibqiran. Cette scène illustre une bataille assez obscure de l'hiver 1514-15 dans la région de Diarbekir lors de laquelle les troupes safavides affrontent les Ottomans équipés de canons. S'il n'est pas certain que Mustafa Pasha ait réellement disposé de canons pour cette bataille, l'artillerie lourde fut utilisée par Selim I lors de sa victoire la même année contre Shah Isma'il à Chaldiran.

A propos des illustrations de ce texte, Eleanor Sims écrit qu'elles présentent le premier Shah safavide comme un souverain inspiré par dieu et tel un héros sur le mode de ceux du Shahnama de Firdousi (Eleanor Sims, A Dispersed Late-Safavid copy of the Tarikh-i Jahangusta-yi Khaqan Sahibqiran, publié dans Sheila R. Canby (ed.) Safavid Art and Architecture, Cambridge, 2002, p.54).
