Kings, queens, shahs and tsars
Kings and rulers in art: paintings, miniatures, manuscripts and prints of kings, queens, shahs, emperors and doges, often enthroned or crowned. The largest group is Persian miniature painting from the Shahnama and the Khamsa of Nizami, showing rulers such as Khusrau Parviz, Nushirwan and Zahhak, with a portrait of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar. European works include Titian's King Philip II of Spain and Doge Andrea Gritti, Tintoretto, Rembrandt's Belshazzar's Feast, Holbein's Dance of Death, Burgundian illuminated manuscripts, alchemical manuscripts and Walter Crane's nursery-rhyme kings. Indian works include a Malwa ragamala painting and a Kalighat painting of Rani Lakshmi Bai.
The selection compares how Persian, European and Indian artists pictured royal power through thrones, crowns and courts.
The richly detailed miniatures and portraits suit studies, dining rooms and hallways. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
