The ‘Hamzanama’, or Adventures of Hamza, is an epic romance about the legendary exploits of the Prophet Muhammad’s uncle, Amir Hamza. The Mughal emperor Akbar (r. 1556–1605) enjoyed reciting and listening to its tales so much that he commissioned an illustrated version in Persian, the language of the court.

Taking 15 years to complete, the final work encompassed 14 volumes with 1,400 paintings! In this example, the Old Testament prophet Ilyas (also known as Elias or Elijah) saves Hamza’s grandson Prince Nur al-Dahr from drowning.
