Persian Painting by Stuart C. Welch SEALED NEW 1976 PB

Description: Condition: Sealed. There is a tear in the packaging on the top right corner of the back cover and a scratch on the cover there. Since its sealed I cant tell which edition this is but the back says its printed in West Germany and the packaging has a Museum of Modern Art price sticker so its not the newer version printed in Hong Kong or a repackaged copy. Back Cover Description:"The sixteenth century saw a lowering of classical painting in Persia. Art flourished under the aegis of the Shahs, and the pages reproduced in this volume represent the most unusual and dazzling miniatures in these Safavid manuscripts. Within settings exquisitely portrayed, a world of great luxury and delicacy unfolds on every folio as palaces open onto fountains and gardens, lovers and warriors sigh or are vanquished-all realized in shimmering, jewellike paintings that delight the eye and please the mind. Stuart Cary Welch, Honorary Curator of Manuscripts at the Harvard College Library and Lecturer in the Fine Arts at Harvard University, traces the historical development of the Safavid Rule and clarifies the fine points of each miniature reproduced here. This volume is the first title in a new series of oversized, high-quality paperbacks featuring particularly interesting and appealing pages selected from the most important Eastern and Western manuscripts extant. Developed in accordance with coherent themes and/or periods in illuminated manuscript art, each of these books will contain 48 color plates, numerous black-and-white illustrations, with introductions as well as commentaries for each volume provided by the foremost scholars in the field."
