Persian Painting book by Sheila Canby
Seller: West Cove UK, Wellington, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice book in great condition. Pages in excellent condition. Softcover. English. See images for condition. About the book >.>.> Like a tiny world of eternally blooming flowers, sweet-smelling zephyrs, gentle people and effulgent light, Persian miniature paintings invite one to linger and delight in every detail. At their best, they do not just illustrate a story. Rather, they breathe life into the hills and animals, clouds and trees that populate the scene of the narrative. Later, in the seventeenth century, portraiture took precedence over book illustration and man came to dominate Persian painting. Yet Persian artists of every generation and every style retained their innately Persian understanding of design. By favouring two-dimensionality and compositional harmony, they presented things as they should be, not necessarily as they are. Within these parameters Persian artists over six centuries produced paintings unrivalled in their perfect realisation of an ideal world. This book briefly documents the history of Persian painting from about 1300 to 1900. While texts mention wall-paintings that pre- dated 1300, and Persian books were probab.
