Islamic Persian Art

Islamic Persian Art refers to the artistic traditions that developed in Persia (modern-day Iran) under Islamic influence, particularly from the 7th century onwards. This art is characterized by intricate patterns, vibrant colors, and the use of calligraphy and geometric designs, often reflecting spiritual themes and cultural heritage. Notable forms include miniature paintings, tile work, and textiles. Persian art often incorporates elements from pre-Islamic traditions, illustrating a rich fusion of cultures. It emphasizes beauty, harmony, and the pursuit of knowledge, serving both decorative and narrative purposes in mosques, palaces, and manuscripts.
