Persian miniature. Gardens of paradise
Description
Filmed at the Bibliotheque Nationale, this program spotlights an outstanding representative work of Persian miniature: Five Poems by the 12th-century poet Nezami, as interpreted in the 17th century by Haydar Qoli Naqqash, a painter of the Safavide School, and calligrapher Abd al Djabbar. A marriage of artistic and poetic languages, this masterpiece serves as a dual entry point into Persian art and culture.
