شکاری که نازکتر آن برگزید که بی‌شیر مهمان همی خون مزید زال و سیمرغ، برگی از شاهنامه شاه تهماسب، منسوب به عبدالعزیز، دوره صفویان، تبریز، در حدود 1531-33 میلادی ZAL IS SIGHTED BY A CARAVAN Attributed to Abdul Aziz Iran, Tabriz, Safavid period, ca. 1525 Opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper Zal, the father of the hero Rustam, was "born with a body like pure silver ... but his hair was that of an old man." An albino at birth, Zal's snow-white hair was considered an ill omen, and the newborn was left in the wilderness. Fortunately, the infant was rescued by the simurgh, a fantastic creature that raises Zal in a nest with her own fledglings. Some time later, travelers passing through the region are amazed to find "a noble youth" living in the mountains. In this remarkable composition, Zal perches on top of a surging rock just as the magnificent bird, with her magical tail feathers trailing behind, brings food to the nest. A palette of purples, blues, and aqua greens, complemented by shimmering gold, creates a sense of vibrancy, while the sinuous lines of the simurgh's tail and the swaying foliage further heighten the drama of Zal's discovery. Even the rocks seem to pulsate with life as finely drawn animals, grotesques, and human faces emerge from the deep crags. بدین گونه تا روزگاری دراز برآورد داننده بگشاد راز چو آن کودک خرد پر مایه گشت برآن کوه بر روزگاری گذشت یکی مرد شد چون یکی زاد سرو برش کوه سیمین میانش چو غرو نشانش پراگنده شد در جهان بد و نیک هرگز نماند نهان به سام نریمان رسید آگهی از آن نیک پی پور با فرهی

In ancient Islamic legend, there exists the wonderful, contrary figure of Al-Khiḍr, an immortal prophet who kills a youth out of mercy and who scuttles a boat of some travelers to deny the greed of a king. He is described as God’s special servant, a protector, trickster, saint, and mystic, who has been identified with various ancient deities.

Francesco Clemente (born in Naples March 23, 1952) is an Italian and American contemporary artist. Influenced by thinkers as diverse as Gregory Bateson, William Blake, Allen Ginsberg, and J Krishnamurti, the art of Francesco Clemente is inclusive and nomadic, crossing many borders, intellectual and geographical. Dividing his time between New York and Varanasi, in India, he has adopted for his paintings a vast variety of supports and mediums, exploring, discarding, and returning to oil paint, watercolor, pastel, and printmaking. His work develops in a non linear mode, expanding and contracting in a fragmentary way, not defined by a style, but rather by his recording of the fluctuations of the self, as he experiences it. The goal is to embrace an expanded consciousness, and to witness, playfully, the survival of the ecstatic experience in a materialistic society.
