Description
The above work is a 5×20 box from the Marmaris Polo and Hunting Collection.
Polo is an authentic Iranian game, which is less known among us and our fathers, but the world knows it as Iran. Even in UNESCO, it is included in the list of Iran’s intangible assets.
This game is a reminder of good days for us Iranians. Because it has always been held during ancient and national celebrations like Nowruz and has brought back sweet memories to the people of Iran.
Maybe now we can understand the reason of happiness that we felt inside when looking at this style of painting; We haven’t played polo and we haven’t even seen it, but this favorite game of our ancestors has a good footprint in our existence and nature.
Leaving aside the story of this game, the artist of this work, Fateme Nowrozi, has depicted the horsemen and their horses in the heart of the mountainside with the combination of many colors at the peak of elegance and harmony.
