Safavid art
Safavid art refers to art in Persia (Iran) during the dynasty of the same name (1501-1722), a high point for the art of the book and architecture; other art at the time included ceramics, metal and glass. While of course nourished by Persian culture, the Safavid art was strongly influenced by Turken culture (having due regard to the origins of the dynasty), as well as Chinese, Ottoman and Western cultures.
