"Shi'i Islam has been the official religion of Iran from the Safavids (1501-1732) to the present day. The Shi'i world experience has provided a rich artistic tradition, encompassing painting, sculpture and the production of artefacts and performance, which has helped to embed Shi'i identity in Iran as part of its national narrative. In what areas of material culture has Iranian Shi'ism manifested itself through objects or buildings that are unique within the overall culture of Islam? To what extent is the art and architecture of Iran from the Safavid period onwards identifiably Shi'i? What does this say about the relationship of nation, state and faith in Iran? Here, leading experts trace the material heritage of Iranian Shi'ism within each of its political, religious and cultural dimensions."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

This is the first book in the English language to deal with the spiritual significance of Islamic art including not only the plastic arts, but also literature and music. Rather than only dealing with the history of the various arts of Islam or their description, the author relates the form, content, symbolic language, meaning, and presence of these arts to the very sources of the Islamic revelation. Relying upon his extensive knowledge of the Islamic religion in both its exoteric and esoteric dimensions as well as the various Islamic sciences, the author relates Islamic art to the inner dimensions of the Islamic revelation and the spirituality which has issued from it. He brings out the spiritual significance of the Islamic arts ranging from architecture to music as seen, heard, and experienced by one living within the universe of the Islamic tradition. In this work the reader is made to understand the meaning of Islamic art for those living within the civilization which created it.

The history of the area now known as Iran, but often still referred to as Persia, spans millennia, boasting a rich and complex artistic and cultural legacy. Populated since prehistoric times--thus making it one of the most animated and lively areas of Islamic civilization--this region was home to the first powerful empire (lead by Cyrus the Great during the Achaemenid dynasty) and influenced the aesthetic grammar of a large portion of central Asia, including Armenia, Georgia, and India. Beginning with ancient Iranian civilizations in 500 BC, through the Islamic period, and on to modern-day Iran, The Art and Architecture of Persia explores the common characteristics and thematic threads running through Persian art. The book presents its readers with archaeological landscapes, monuments, sculptures, carpets, and dazzling ornaments and art objects from this stunning artistic milieu. The text takes as its subject the most fascinating and unusual facets of the Persian artistic experience in all its phases, with a particular focus on post-Hellenic culture, namely late antiquity and the Middle Ages. The Art and Architecture of Persia investigates how the examined regions were incubators of specific artistic developments and identifies how the Iranian passage along the Silk Route acted as a bridge between distant lands for trade and also facilitated the dissemination of religious and material culture. The two authors, Giovanni Curatola and Gianroberto Scarcia, write in an engaging, refreshingly accessible manner, catering to both the specialist and the novice wishing to immerse themselves in this captivating region and its art. Author Scarcia helms the first part of the book, covering the erafrom the Achaemenids to the Sassanids, examining the great architecture from Persepolis onward, while also addressing the powerful metalwork produced by these cultures. The second part, by Curatola, explores the Islamic period, when architectural decoration moved into the forefront with brilliant chromatic effects etched onto massive built works. The same colors bloom throughout the other arts, including carpets and miniature paintings. Dynamic and absorbing, the text and its more than 200 color photos will take readers on a virtual tour of this region and the art it has produced over the millennia.
