| Description |
English: The Gulshan-i 'ishq ('The Rose Garden of Love'), by the Sufi poet Nusrati, is an allegorical romance relating the progress of King Bikram towards enlightenment and the birth of a child to his hitherto barren queen. The paintings are of two types: those illustrating the narrative, which are bolder and larger in size (central section, both folios); and marginal vignettes, which are virtual microcosms of daily life at court, in the city and in the countryside.
The right-hand folio (MSS 640.1b) depicts the queen in her private apartments (top) and King Bikram offering food to the holy man, Roshan-i Dil. The main scene on the leftt-hand folio (MSS 640.2a) depicts King Bikram throwing himself abjectly on the ground before Roshan-i Dil. ... See full description on web site. |
