Persian art

Miniature painting 🖌

A Persian miniature is a small Persian painting on paper, whether a book illustration or a separate work of art intended to be kept in an album of such works called a muraqqa. Miniature painting became a significant Persian genre in the 13th century, receiving Chinese influence after the Mongol conquests,and the highest point in the tradition was reached in the 15th and 16th centuries. The tradition continued, under some Western influence, after this, and has many modern exponents.
