EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of "MS FY 1404 f. 58a, The Great Comet above the Golden Horn in Constantinople". Taken from the Sehinsahname of Murad III, a renowned epic poem by Persian poet Ala ad-din Mansur-Shirazi, this artwork transports us back to 16th-century Istanbul. The image captures a breathtaking aerial view of the city at night, with the celestial spectacle of a great comet illuminating the sky above. The vibrant colors and intricate details painted on paper by Turkish School artists bring life to this historic scene. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are drawn into an enchanting world where poetry meets astronomy. The calligraphy and text within the manuscript add depth and context to this picturesque moment. It is as if time stands still as we witness both natural wonders and human creativity intertwine. The composition also highlights Constantinople's coastal charm, with its iconic Golden Horn shining brightly amidst the darkened cityscape. This Islamic metropolis comes alive through Luisa Ricciarini's skillful brushstrokes, capturing not only its architectural splendor but also its maritime allure along the Bosphorus coastline. Intriguingly blending elements of artistry and scientific observation, this print invites us to contemplate our place in both history and nature's grand design. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people marveled at celestial phenomena just like we do today.
