Description
Text and Image in Medieval Persian Art by Sheila S. Blair is a comprehensive exploration of the intricate relationship between word and image in medieval Persian art. Spanning from the 10th to the 16th century, this lavishly illustrated book showcases the finest examples of Greater Iranian arts, which not only demonstrate technical excellence but also engage the viewer intellectually. Through five in-depth case studies on ceramics, metalwares, painting, architecture, and textiles, Blair reveals how artisans employed form, material, and decoration to captivate their audiences. The book also examines the transformation of everyday objects into works of art and how their reception has evolved over time, offering new insights into our understanding of the past. Written by a leading expert in Persian art, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of visual and verbal arts in medieval Persian culture.
