The 13 th of October 1840. The
pleasant weather and the mild heat of the oriental autuman
sun warms my soel. And kindles a burning desire in me to
draw the most beautiful edifice in the east, known as the
Eight Edens,
"Hasht-Behesht". A legendary edifice,
"Hasht-Behesht",
fascinated many travelers before me, like Chardin.The subject of my drawing today is
the "Hasht-Behesht"edifice which is surrounded like a jewel
by the famous "Nightingale Garden" which is full of trees of
all types. Together, we'll go on an excursion to one of the
most exquisite examples of the architecture of the Safavid
period.
