Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

Although Kamal al-Din Bihzad (1460-1535) is acknowledged to be one of the greatest masters of Persian painting, there has to date been no comprehensive study of his life and work. He flourished during the golden age of artistic achievement in the late Teimurid and early Safavid periods, working in Herat and then in Tabriz. This illustrated book traces the roots of the style developed by Bihzad, its heritage and its legacy in Iran, Mughal India and Ottoman Turkey.

The author approaches the subject by attempting to relate the paintings to the stories and themes they portray, thus enabling us to appreciate Bihzad's work in a way that has generally been neglected by Western art historians. Bahari has examined Bihzad's paintings in libraries and collections all over the world and this study brings together a huge body of the work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bihzad and his contemporary followers, April 6 2000
By 
This review is from: Bihzad, Master of Persian Painting (Hardcover)
this is an excellent book if you are looking for a comprehensive chronology of Bihzad's life and work. The color reproductions are beautiful, and the text is succinct and easy to follow. There are several works included in the book that are thought to be by contemporaries, and the author supports his descriptions of Bihzad's style by pointing out the stylistic flaws in the works that have been attributed to Bihzad but are not actually part of his repertoire.
