From
the Kulliyat of Sa'di, Solomon Enthroned, Shiraz,
circa 1580 -1590 1
I have a particular fondness
for the illumination of Shiraz art. If we were to
judge it on how faces were painted it would be a
dismal genre indeed but when I look at something
like the cloudband to the left then I see the
magic of the art of Shiraz.
