Description - Epic Iran: 5000 Years of Culture by John Curtis
The Iranian Plateau extends for close to 2,000 km, encompassing dizzying mountain ranges, rolling hills, forests and rich farm lands. It has been home to some of the greatest civilizations of both the ancient and medieval worlds, with spectacular achievements in scholarship and material culture – but these remain poorly known internationally. This lavishly illustrated publication tells the story of Iran from the dawn of the historical period in 5,000 BC to today.
It is unique in combining the ancient and Islamic periods as well as contemporary art, from sculpture to goldsmiths’ work, from ceramics and glass to illustrated manuscripts, and from textiles and carpets to oil paintings, drawings
and photographs.
