Renaissance of Persian art

The Renaissance of Persian art refers to a period of renewed artistic activity and cultural flourishing in Persia (modern-day Iran), roughly from the 14th to 17th centuries. This era saw the revival of intricate calligraphy, beautifully detailed miniature paintings, elaborate architecture, and vibrant tile work. Influenced by earlier Persian traditions and diverse regional interactions, the period produced masterpieces that expressed spiritual themes, royal power, and daily life. It marked a significant rebirth, blending artistic innovation with deep cultural identity, and left a lasting legacy that continues to influence Persian art and culture today.
