Islamic Art and Architecture: From Isfahan to the Taj Mahal
Islamic Art and Architecture: From Isfahan to the Taj Mahal
From the frontiers of Iran to the heart of India, architects, landscape gardeners, calligraphers, miniaturists and weavers have made their mark on the Islamic tradition. Turquoise marble cupolas; arches adorned with flowers and arabesques; motionless basins reflecting the slender minarets in the form of glittering stalactites; scintillating enamels of floral bouquets – all of these components are an integral part of the luxury, refinement and spirituality that can be defined as ‘Persian style’.

Breathtakingly beautiful!,
The author (Mr. Stierlin) is designated as an “art historian”. That is true, but far from complete. Judging from this book, he is also an outstanding photographer. Many books of this type are sabotaged by mediocre photography; not this one! If you have an interest in beautiful architecture beyond the shores of America, you should get this book.

|Islamic Art and Architecture: From Isfahan to the Taj Mahal,
The book portrays Islamic architecture through the ages and throughout the Muslim world in a manner that portrays both it’s beauty and the similar features that transcend geography and time. It is particularly enlightening to Westerners who have little exposure to history, the non-Western world, or Islam.
