Description

Explore the history of Persian book painting with this scholarly collection from Pindar Press. This volume gathers significant studies from the last fifteen years that focus on the era between the 14th and early 16th centuries. During this time, Iran led the Islamic world in the art of book painting, marking a golden age for the medium. The collected articles examine the evolution of these artistic traditions. You can trace the changes starting from the period of Mongol rule, when Far Eastern themes and modes transformed the existing heritage of Arab painting.
