Courtiers pause with falcons beneath a plane tree on a golden sky

Persian court painting, reaching its apex under the Ilkhanid, Timurid, and Safavid dynasties between the 13th and 17th centuries, produced some of the most visually refined images in the history of art — intimate in scale but monumental in ambition, combining precise draughtsmanship, jewel-bright mineral pigments, and a spatial logic entirely unlike that of any Western tradition. Working in court ateliers in Tabriz, Herat, Shiraz, and Isfahan, anonymous master painters illustrated the great works of Persian literature — the Shahnameh, the Khamsa of Nizami, the Divan of Hafez, the Mantiq al-Tayr — with a decorative intelligence and an intensity of observation that continues to astonish.
