Jonas e a baleia: Fólio de um Jami'al tawarikh

ca. 1400
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 455
A história de Jonas e a baleia, que é mencionada no Alcorão, era popular no mundo islâmico e frequentemente ilustrada nos livros de histórias similares a este, cujo título se traduz como Compêndio de Crônicas. Aqui, no entanto, nenhum texto é inserido na imagem, talvez porque fosse apresentada aos ouvintes durante um recital oral ou porque era apenas para exibição. Sua monumentalidade, apresentação direta e colorido vibrante sugerem a influência de pintura mural. Nesta imagem, a baleia deposita Jonas na costa; sobre sua cabeça curva-se uma planta de cabaça, que também aparece com frequência nas ilustrações medievais ocidentais.
