Diminutive marvels of artistry and fine craftsmanship, portrait miniatures reveal a wealth of information within their small frames. They can tell tales of cultural history and biography, of people and their passions, of evolving tastes in jewelry, fashion, hairstyles, and the decorative arts. Unlike many other genres, miniatures have a tradition in which amateurs and professionals have operated in parallel and women artists have flourished as professionals. This richly illustrated book presents approximately 180 portrait miniatures selected from the holdings of the Cincinnati Art Museum, the largest and most diverse collection of its kind in North America. The book stresses the continuity of stylistic tradition across Europe and America as well as the vitality of the portrait miniature format through more than four centuries. A detailed catalogue entry, as well as a concise artist biography, appears for each object. Essays examine various aspects of miniature painting, of the depiction of costume in miniatures, and of the allied art of hair work.

Painting miniatures, though a relatively small sector, is one of the most widespread hobbies throughout the world. The modellers and painters prefer mainly military figures and model vehicles, closely followed by fantasy figures. However, painting female figures presents an alternative to these, taking second place among the preferences of many painters, perhaps due to a lack of knowledge or the difficulty it presents. From now on and thanks to this publication, all this is history.When painting a female figure, one should simply be familiar with the appropriate techniques in order to obtain the picturesque effects that portray finesse, avoiding sharp lights and shadows used on military figures. Airbrush techniques, almost always feared by the majority of painters, provide really surprising finishes that can later be applied to other types of tasks.The sensuality, glamour and eroticism that occasionally accompany female figures cannot be forgotten, making this publication an essential guide for overcoming the fear of this type of figure painting that can provide great satisfaction once the pieces are finished. This is undoubtedly a new style that breaks away from traditional techniques that are repeated in conventional figure painting.The publication is designed in a very visual way, accompanying the reader with brief and concise explanations on the use of different techniques, illustrative step-by-step processes. The examples described include how to paint figures ranging from 30mm fantasy miniatures to large scale figures, as well as specific techniques for simulating skin, hair, lips and everything that comprises the female figure as a whole, in which sensuality is a key factor.

The dominant form of Ottoman pictorial art until the eighteenth century, miniatures have traditionally been studied as reflecting the socio-historical contexts, aesthetic concerns and artistic tastes of the era within which they were produced. Begum Ozden Fyrat proposes instead a radical re-reading of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century miniatures in the light of contemporary critical theory, highlighting the viewer's encounter with the image. Encounters with the Ottoman Miniature employs contemporary concepts such as the gaze, frame/framing, reading and re-reading, drawing on thinkers such as Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes and Gilles Deleuze to establish the vibrant cultural agency of miniature paintings. With analysis that illuminates both the social and political situations in which these miniatures were painted as well as emphasising the miniature's contemporary relevance, Firat presents an important new re-imagining of this art form.
