Work of art

Quality Proffessional

Akbar was strolling with some of his courtiers in the royal gardens which were filled with exquisite flowers.

A court poet drew the emperor’s attention to a particular flower and exclaimed: “How beautiful is this flower ! Man can never make something so beautiful and exquisite.”

The emperor agreed, but much to his irritation he heard Birbal say “ Man can produce sometimes, far more beautiful things “ Akbar reprimanded Birbal and all the courtiers who were there enjoyed Birbal’s discomfiture. Birbal was hurt and was determined to prove his point.

Do you agree with Birbal or Akbar ?

A few days later a master craftsman came to Akbar’s court and gifted him with an exquisite marble carving of a bouquet of flowers .

The emperor was very impressed and gave the artist one thousand gold coins. Just then a little boy came with a beautiful bunch of roses and gave them to the emperor. Akbar gave the boy a silver coin.

Birbal who was standing near Akbar pointed : “ So the man made carving of flowers is more beautiful than real flowers .” The emperor realized Birbal was right once again.

Why is a work of art that portrays a real thing more valuable than the real thing
