Embracing over a thousand years of history and an area stretching
from the Atlantic to the borders of India and China, this is an
unrivalled synthesis of the arts of Islamic civilization. From the
death of the Prophet Muhammad to the present day, Robert
Hillenbrand traces the evolution of an extraordinary range of art
forms, including architecture, calligraphy, book illumination,
painting, ceramics, glassware, textiles and metalwork. New to this
edition is a chapter ranging from c. 1700 to c. 1900, a period very
often neglected in books on this subject. Hillenbrand explores how
recent centuries, far from being a dark age, have seen incredible
artistic ferment and creativity across the Islamic world.
Full-colour illustrations of masterpieces of Islamic art and
architecture - from Moorish Spain to contemporary Iran - show the
far-reaching stylistic developments as well as the recurrent
preoccupations that have shaped the arts of Islam since the seventh
century. With 227 illustrations in colour
