Iran was home to some of the greatest civilizations of both the
ancient and medieval worlds, but these achievements are now little
known outside the country. Epic Iran brings together 250
fascinating objects and images to cast a rare light on 5,000 years
of history, showing how civilized life emerged in Iran around 3,200
BC, and how a distinctive Iranian identity, formed 2,500 years ago,
has survived until today, expressed through artistic continuities,
religious affiliations and the Persian language. Lavishly
illustrated, this magnificent and important book encompasses
metalwork, ceramics, glass, illustrated manuscripts, textiles,
carpets, oil paintings, drawings and photographs from collections
around the world. It brings treasures from the ancient and Islamic
worlds together with the work of contemporary artists and makers,
demonstrating the rich legacy that still influences many modern-day
practitioners.
