This calligraphic composition is by Mir Emad Hassani, created sometime before his death in 1615. The deep blues and gold leaf immediately draw the eye, showcasing the artist’s mastery of line and decorative space. Notice how the text, rather than being uniformly linear, undulates and is almost sculptural, creating a hierarchy of forms. The script occupies a central space, but is destabilized by a blue, star-like field that invades it from the upper corner. This intrusion disrupts any conventional reading, inviting the viewer into a more intimate and nuanced engagement. The surrounding gold-leafed frame, adorned with subtle floral motifs, functions not merely as a border but as a field that emphasizes the centrality of the text. The arrangement encourages a reading that's not just about linguistic content but also about the aesthetic and philosophical interplay between form and meaning, challenging the boundaries of traditional calligraphy.
