Synopsis

""Iranian and Islamic Art"" by Richard Ettinghausen is a comprehensive survey of the art of Iran and the Islamic world. The book covers the art and architecture of Iran from pre-Islamic times to the present day, as well as the art of the wider Islamic world, including Central Asia, India, and North Africa. The author provides a detailed analysis of the different styles and techniques used in Iranian and Islamic art, including calligraphy, painting, ceramics, metalwork, and textiles. The book also explores the religious and cultural contexts in which these art forms developed, and the role they played in shaping the identity and worldview of the Islamic world. With over 400 illustrations, including many in color, ""Iranian and Islamic Art"" is an essential reference for anyone interested in the art and culture of Iran and the Islamic world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
