Re-View: S231 (Islamic rotation: 4) Strolling Through Isfahan: Seventeenth-Century Paintings From Safavid Iran

With its great public square, majestic avenues, and noble gardens, Isfahan, the capital city of Safavid Iran in the 17th century, afforded endless opportunities for court ceremony, promenades, and people-watching. Stylish or eccentric, the Isfahanis captured the attention of writers and artists alike, providing colorful subject matter for the growing genre of single-page paintings.
