What an amazing blog....and these paintings are wonderful...I have a real interest because my husband is Persian and his culture inspired my Degree Show work (I'm an artist)....I've drawn Fath Ali Shah's hunting pavillian in pen and ink.......
Oh I love the collection of pics here. Priceless. Thank you so much.
And I think the weird camels shown are 'bactrian camels'. Shahenshah was an emperor in North India and these camels are indeed found at the northernmost areas.
Wonderful info.
ReplyDeleteWow. These are incredible.
