The Persian Album, 1400-1600: From Dispersal To Collection
Subgenre: Islam / Rituals & Practice - Subgenre: Asian, Design / Book, History / General, Middle Eastern, Subjects & Themes / Religious - Format: Hardcover - Author: David J. Roxburgh
This book examines portable art collections assembled in the courts of Greater Iran in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Made by or for rulers, princes, courtiers, artists, and calligraphers, albums were created to preserve and display art, yet they were conceptualized in different ways. David J. Roxburgh, a leading expert on Persian albums and the art of the book, discusses and explains this diversity, and he demonstrates convincingly that to look closely at the practice of album making is to open a vista to a culture of thought about the Persian art tradition.
