Description
A Story of Islamic Art explores the artistic and architectural traditions of the Islamic world through 50 case studies presented as fictional narratives. Each story focuses on an object from the Islamic world, ranging from portable items to buildings and archaeological sites.
These stories are supported by a scholarly framework, providing a detailed introduction, maps, timeline, glossary, and guides for further reading. The book delves into key questions in the scholarship on Islamic art and architecture, including iconography, attitudes towards representation, and the socio-cultural context of art production and consumption.
Artistic interactions between the Islamic world and other regions are also discussed, making this an engaging introduction to Islamic art, history, and architecture for interested readers and students.
