PAINTING BY MU'IN MUSAVVIR. Shahnama (Book of Kings) of Firdausi

Shahnama (Book of Kings) of Firdausi. Artist: Painting by Mu'in Musavvir (active ca. 1630-97). Author: Abu'l Qasim Firdausi (935-1020). Dimensions: Painting (folio 158v): H. 9 15/16 in. (25.2 cm) W. 5 5/8 in. (14.3 cm) Text block: H. 14 5/16 in. (36.4 cm) W. 8 9/16 in. (21.7 cm) Binding: H. 14 1/2 in. (36.8 cm) W. 9 1/16 in. (23 cm) D. 2 in. (5.1 cm). Date: 1660s. Fol. 158v: The Div Akvan carries Rustam to the Sea On a quest to find a div (demon) that had been killing the shah's herds, Rustam grew tired and went to sleep in a meadow. The div, Akvan, spied him and lifted him with the mound of earth on which he lay. As Rustam trembled with fear, Akvan said: "Tell me where you want me to leave you. Shall I throw you into the sea or onto the mountains?" Rustam chose the mountains, knowing that the div would do the opposite. The orange div with its flaming gold eyelids and strangely shaped horns is typical within the work of Mu'in Musavvir, who illustrated a number of Shahnama manuscripts in the second half of the seventeenth century.
