Framed Print of Dragon in foliage with lion and phoenix heads, mid-1500s. Creator: Sahkulu (Turkish)
Dragon in foliage with lion and phoenix heads, mid-1500s. In this masterful drawing, a fierce undulating dragon entangled in swirling foliage is under attack from a lion above while assaulting a phoenix whose body dissolves into floral and foliate forms. The lions body undergoes a comparable zoomorphic transformation. This drawing represents the finest of the saz style, admired for elaborately curving flowers and leaves that flourished in the mid-1500s. The style was led by the Iranian-trained artist, Sahkulu, who joined the Ottoman imperial painting atelier in Istanbul in 1526 and became the head of the atelier in 1545. A verse from the Koran, 40:44, is inscribed in the stamp: And I commit my case unto God. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © Heritage Art/Heritage Images
