The Creation of the World and the Expulsion from Paradise 1445 Giovanni di Paolo (Giovanni di Paolo di Grazia) Italian This masterpiece of Sienese painting combines Giovanni di Paolos exquisite visionary effects and narrative detail. The picture presents a vision of Paradise reminiscent of that described by the great Florentine poet Dante in "The Divine Comedy." The universe is shown as a celestial globe, with the earth at the center surrounded by a series of concentric circles representing first the four elements, the known planets (including the sun, in accordance with medieval and Renaissance cosmology), and finally the constellations of the zodiac. Presiding over the scene of Creation is God the Father, bathed in a glowing celestial light as he is borne aloft by seraphim. Beside the "mappamondo" (map of the world) is the garden of Paradise, its four rivers issuing from the ground at the lower right. The garden's effulgent flora symbolize the pure and sinless state of man before th

Khusraw Discovers Shirin Bathing, From Pictorial Cycle of Eight Poetic Subjects Khusraw Discovers Shirin Bathing, From Pictorial Cycle of Eight Poetic Subjects, mid 18th century. Oil on canvas, 36 x 35 in. (91.4 x 88.9 cm).  This image captures the culminating moment in the passionate love affair between Irans legendary King Khusraw II (Sasanian dynasty, r. 590-628) and Shirin, an Armenian princess. After days of longing, Khusraw coincidentally encounters Shirin for the first time as she bathes in a pond. Entranced by each others beauty, the lovers remain speechless. Although rooted in oral tradition, the tale of Khusraw and Shirin found its greatest expression as one of the five narrative poems of the Khamsa (Quintet), composed by the celebrated Nizami of Ganja (1141-1209), one of Irans greatest masters of romantic poetry.
