Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
A landmark survey in art history, Islamic Art by David Talbot Rice presents a comprehensive and authoritative account of the artistic traditions of the Islamic world, spanning from the seventh century to the modern era. The work chronicles the development of architecture, ceramics, metalwork, textiles, calligraphy, and miniature painting across the vast geographic spread of Islamic civilization, from Spain and North Africa to Persia, Central Asia, and beyond. Rice argues that Islamic art is not a single unified style but a rich and diverse tradition shaped by regional cultures, dynastic patronage, and the unifying force of religious belief. Illustrated with 248 images—55 in full colour—this revised edition presents a visually stunning and scholarly accessible introduction to one of the world's great artistic heritages. Written with the clarity and depth expected of a seasoned art historian, the book remains an essential reference for students, collectors, and enthusiasts of world art.
