Making Sense of Islamic Art & Architecture is designed to equip
the cultural tourist and art student with the means to interpret
each painting, building, or artifact in terms of the iconography
and symbolism of Islam. With reference to 100 clearly illustrated
and diverse historical works, readers will learn to identify the
telling details that mean so much to Muslims. The book’s layout
is both visually striking and accessible. Each double-page spread
features a full-page colour photograph of either a detail of the
work or its context, depending on the subject, with a second
photograph chosen to illustrate important aspects of the work.
Alongside is a detailed exposition of the work’s significance in
Islamic art history and philosophy, with key historical facts about
the work, including where it may be seen today. By tracing the
paths between Islamic belief and artistic intention, this book will
deepen understanding not only of Islamic art and architecture but
also of Islam itself.
