Summary
DescriptionThe victory of Maʿmun over Amin, folio from a manuscript of Nigaristan, Iran, probably Shiraz, dated 1573-74.jpg |
العربية: مُنمنِمة من القرن السادس عشر، تُظهر انتصار المأمُون على الأمين،
English: The victory of Maʿmun over Amin, Folio from a manuscript of Nigaristan
Accession Number:AKM272.f52v Creator:Author: Ahmad b. Muhammad Ghaffari, Persian, died 1567 Scribe: Ahmad al-Shirazi Place:Iran, Shiraz (probably) Dimensions:38.7 cm × 25 cm × 6.4 cm Date:1573-74 CE/980 AH/AH 980 Materials and Technique:Ink, opaque watercolour, and gold on paper The miniature painting "The victory of Maʿmun over Amin" is from an intact manuscript of Kitab-i Nigaristan, a collection of anecdotes and historical incidents written in prose by the historian and scholar Ahmad Muhammad Ghaffari (1504–1567/68) of Kashan in 1551–2. This illustrated manuscript, dated 1573, was probably produced in a Shiraz workshop. This illustration depicts two sons of the Abbasid Caliph, Ma’mun and Amin, engaged in deadly combat. It features a setting typical of Persian miniature painting, particularly during the Timurid period (1370–1507). Here, troops face each other and are set on the left and right hand side of the image, identified by their battle standards. The main battle—in which Ma’mun decapitates Amin—takes place at the middle of the image. A historical figure, Ma’mun would later rule as the Abbasid caliph in Baghdad from 847 to 861. A blue sky can be seen above the battlefield. Landscapes throughout the Nigaristan are either blue or gold; the latter is generally reserved for paintings depicting royalty. Like other manuscripts of the period (1565–80), the Nigaristan uses precious materials such as lapis lazuli and gold to produce a luxurious manuscript. This illustration is damaged in several places. The greatest damage has occurred in the landscape below the combat scene. |
