Literature and Painting: Two Manifestations of One Truth مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

For example, the message of Mohtasham's poems regarding the Ashura of Hossein is beautifully presented in Professor Farshchian's painting 'Asr-e Ashura'; or the story of the killing of Merdas by Zahhak, which is found in Ferdowsi's poems, has been depicted by the painter Sultan Mohammad. 1 Master Farshchian, too, in the painting "Asr-e Ashura" (The Afternoon of Ashura), by drawing two thirsty and withered palms with yellow and curved trunks on the left side of his canvas behind the grieving women, has as if displayed the bending of the stature of all existence; and with an earthy background color, he clearly shows the dust of sorrow, as if singing in harmony with Mohtasham: "The storm reached the sky from the dust of the earth". Another one of these skillful and fortunate miniaturists is Sultan Muhammad Tabrizi, also known as Iraqi, who has been blessed in several respects: possessing God-given talent and a passion for miniature painting, having good masters and artistic companions, and living in an appropriate time; a time when the king of his era, Shah Ismail Safavi, ordered the illustration of the Shahnameh to be presented to his young son, Shah Tahmasp. If we look closely at the image that Sultan Muhammad has painted, we realize that what our enchanting and unique poet had inspired in the mind of the reader and listener by composing the verses above, our master painter has given objectivity to with his magical pen.
