In the absence of a tradition of self-portraiture, how could artists signal their presence within a painting? Centred on late Timurid manuscript painting (ca. 1470-1500), this book reveals that pictures could function as the painter's delegate, charged with the task of centring and defining artistic work, even as they did not represent the artist's likeness. Influenced by the culture of the majlis, an institutional gathering devoted to intricate literary performances and debates, late Timurid painters used a number of strategies to shift manuscript painting from an illustrative device to a self-reflective object, designed to highlight the artist's imagination and manual dexterity. These strategies include visual abundance, linear precision, the incorporation of inscriptions addressing aspects of the painting and the artist's signature. Focusing on one of the most iconic manuscripts of the Persianate tradition, the Cairo Bustan made in late Timurid Herat and bearing the signatures of the painter Bihzad, this book explores Persian manuscript painting as a medium for artistic performance and self-representation, a process by which artistic authority was shaped and discussed.

When we walk into a gallery, we have a fairly good idea where the building begins and ends; and inside, while observing a painting, we are equally confident in distinguishing between the painting-proper and its frame and borders. Yet, things are often more complicated. A building defines an exterior space just as much as an interior, and what we perceive to be ornamental and marginal to a given painting may in fact be central to what it represents. In this volume, a simple question is presented: instead of dichotomous separations between inside and outside, or exterior and interior, what other relationships can we think of? The first book of its kind to grapple with this question, Inside/Outside Islamic Art and Architecture focuses on a wide spectrum of mediums and topics, including painted manuscripts, objects, architectural decoration, architecture and urban planning, and photography. Bringing together scholars with diverse methodologies-who work on a geographical span stretching from India to Spain and Nigeria, and across a temporal spectrum from the thirteenth to the twenty-first century-this original book also poses engaging questions about the boundaries of the field.

Between the Mongol invasions in the mid-13th century and the rise of the Ottomans in the late 14th century, the Lands of Rum were marked by instability and conflict. Despite this, a rich body of illuminated manuscripts from the period survives, explored here in this extensively illustrated volume. Meticulously analysing 15 beautifully decorated Arabic and Persian manuscripts, including Qur'ans, mirrors-for-princes, historical chronicles and Sufi works, Cailah Jackson traces the development of calligraphy and illumination in late medieval Anatolia. She shows that the central Anatolian city of Konya, in particular, was a dynamic centre of artistic activity and that local Turcoman princes, Seljuk bureaucrats and Mevlevi dervishes all played important roles in manuscript production and patronage.

A cutting-edge analysis of 2,500 years of Persian visual, architectural, and material cultures of power and their role in connecting the world. With the rise of the Achaemenid Empire (550–330 BCE), Persian institutions of kingship became the model for legitimacy, authority, and prestige across three continents. Despite enormous upheavals, Iranian visual and political cultures connected an ever-wider swath of Afro-Eurasia over the next two millennia, exerting influence at key historical junctures. This book provides the first critical exploration of the role Persian cultures played in articulating the myriad ways power was expressed across Afro-Eurasia between the sixth century BCE and the nineteenth century CE. Exploring topics such as royal cosmologies, fashion, banqueting, manuscript cultures, sacred landscapes, and inscriptions, the volume’s essays analyze the intellectual and political exchanges of art, architecture, ritual, and luxury material within and beyond the Persian world. They show how Perso-Iranian cultures offered neighbors and competitors raw material with which to formulate their own imperial aspirations. Unique among studies of Persia and Iran, this volume explores issues of change, renovation, and interconnectivity in these cultures over the longue durée.

Short description: A collection of Professor Grube's essays on the painting of the late 14th and 15th century in the Timurid empire and that of Ottoman Turkey. This is a new revised edition of the 1968 exhibition catalogue The Classical Style of Islamic Painting, which has substantially widened its focus and time span. Long description:The studies by Ernst Grube collected and reprinted in this volume are concerned with two aspects of painting in the Muslim world, that of the late 14th and 15th century in the Timurid empire, and that of Ottoman Turkey. The focal point of this volume is the new edition of the 1968 exhibition-catalogue, The Classical Style in Islamic Painting; this was a study on the origin of Timurid painting and its impact on other royal painting ateliers in the rest of the Muslim world. At that date, the author was of the opinion that the style developed in the atelier of Baysunghur Mirza ibn Shah Rukh, Timur's grandson and one of the great bibliophiles of the age, was considered a "classical" achievement by his contemporaries and the princely bibliophiles of the next two generations. Its apparent perfection led these princes and their artists to emulate its qualities and mannerisms for over two centuries. Written as a catalogue accompanying an exhibition at the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York in 1968, the selection of works was restrained both by the limits of material then available, and by the fact that relatively little was then known about the bibliophile endeavours of Baysunghur's cousin, Iskandar Sultan ibn 'Umar Shaykh. As we know now, Iskandar matched, and exceeded in many ways, the achievements of Baysunghur, laying the foundation upon which much of what Baysunghur achieved was based. Taking full advantage of the materials from Iskandar's atelier which have now become available in research over the last thirty years, the original text of The Classical Style has been rewritten. No longer restrained by the framework of an exhibition, it has been largely illustrated with new material. While the original concept remains basically unaltered, his new study shifts the focus slightly, taking into account the earlier sources that illuminate the bibliophile achievement of the period. As The Classical Style in Islamic Painting has been out of print for over 25 years, this updated version should be particularly welcome. A second major study included in this volume does focus on Baysunghur, examining two manuscripts of the renowned stories of the two jackals, Kalilah and Dimnah, at the court of the Lion King; they were made for the prince within two years of each other. All the paintings in these exquisite codices are illustrated; a comparison between what would appear to be a pre-Baysunghur version with that made in the prince's own atelier leads to new insights into the problems that still surround the history of painting in that period. A third study tackles the extraordinary set of paintings probably produced in the late 19th century that are based on Baysunghur's famous Shah-namah completed in Herat in 1431. Lastly, the studies dealing with Ottoman Turkish painting range from problems of the identification of the earliest Ottoman style at the end of the 15th century, to the reaction of the Ottoman world to the Kalilah wa Dimnah stories, and the realistic contemporary interpretation of the ancient tradition of Firdausi's Shah-namah.

Rising from nomadic origins as Turkish tribesmen, the powerful and culturally prolific Seljuqs and their successor states dominated vast lands extending from Central Asia to the eastern Mediterranean from the eleventh to the fourteenth century. Supported by colour images, charts, and maps, this volume examines how under Seljuq rule, migrations of people and the exchange and synthesis of diverse traditions-including Turkmen, Perso-Arabo-Islamic, Byzantine, Armenian, Crusader and other Christian cultures-accompanied architectural patronage, advances in science and technology and a great flowering of culture within the realm. It also explores how shifting religious beliefs, ideologies of authority, and lifestyle in Seljuq times influenced cultural and artistic production, urban and rural architecture, monumental inscriptions and royal titulature, and practices of religion and magic. It also presents today's challenges and new approaches to preserving the material heritage of this vastly accomplished and influential civilization.
