Summary:
Although Kamal al-Din Bihzad (1460-1535) is acknowledged to be one of
the greatest masters of Persian painting, there has to date been no
comprehensive study of his life and work. He flourished during the
golden age of artistic achievement in the late Teimurid and early
Safavid periods, working in Herat and then in Tabriz. This
illustrated book traces the roots of the style developed by Bihzad,
its heritage and its legacy in Iran, Mughal India and Ottoman
Turkey.The author approaches the subject by attempting to relate the
paintings to the stories and themes they portray, thus enabling us to
appreciate Bihzad's work in a way that has generally been neglected
by Western art historians. Bahari has examined Bihzad's paintings in
libraries and collections all over the world and this study brings
together a huge body of the work.
