The Stories and Images of Nizami exhibition opened in Moscow today. Its main goal is to demonstrate the continuous tradition of referring to the works of the great poet, as well as how humanistic ideas and aesthetic images of Nizami were understood and artistically interpreted in the culture of Azerbaijan and other countries in the Middle Ages and the new era. Curator of the exhibition, Russian historian-orientalist, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences Ilya Zaytsev told Vestnik Kavkaza about the exposition and about Nizami s ideas.
- This exhibition has a unique concept - the poet s stories appear on different materials: on tiles, on lacquerware, illustrations in manuscripts. How did you manage to illustrate plots from his poems using different artistic means?
