Persian Painting and its Sources
Hardback, 31 x 25 cm, 368 pp.

Persian painting has long been admired around the world for its delicacy, vibrant colour and sophistication. This magnificent book is the definitive survey of figurative arts of the Iranian world from the very earliest prehistoric paintings through to the beginning of the 20th century to consider the art in terms of themes rather than styles. It looks at a range of painting techniques – in manuscripts, albums and on walls, and on lacquered boxes – though it also covers related arts such as sculpture, ceramics and metalwork.
