About Islamic PaintingIslamic art encompasses the fine arts produced from the 7th century onwards by people (not necessarily Muslim) who lived within the territory that was inhabited by or ruled by culturally Islamic populations. Islam painting is very difficult to define because it covers many lands and various peoples over some 1400 years. The huge field of Islamic architecture is the subject of a separate article, leaving fields as varied as calligraphy, Muslim painting, glass, ceramics, and textiles, among others. Muslim paintings developed from many sources: Roman, Early Christian art, and Byzantine styles were taken over in early Islamic painting and architecture; the influence of the Sassanian art of pre-Islamic Persia was of paramount significance; Central Asian styles were brought in with various nomadic incursions; and Chinese influences had a formative effect on Islamic paintings, pottery, and textiles. There are repeating elements in Islamic paintings, such as the use of geometrical floral or vegetal designs in a repetition known as the arabesque. The arabesque in art Islam is often used to symbolize the transcendent, indivisible and infinite nature of God. |

Typically, though not entirely, the art of Islam has focused on the depiction of patterns and Arabic calligraphy, rather than on figures, because
it is feared by many Muslims that the depiction of the human form is idolatry and thereby a sin against God, forbidden in the Qur'an. Human
portrayals can be found in all eras of arts in Islam, above all in the more private form of miniatures, where their absence is rare.
The tradition of the Persian miniature painting has been dominant since about the 13th century, strongly influencing the Ottoman miniature of Turkey and the Mughal miniature in India. As early as the 9th century, such art flourished during the Abbasid Caliphate (c. 749-1258, across Spain, North Africa, Egypt, Syria, Turkey, Mesopotamia, and Persia). Figurative Muslim paintings in Mesopotamia, Syria, and Egypt from this earlier time period is also mentioned in the sources. Muslim painting Portraits of rulers developed in the 16th century, and later in Persia, then becoming very popular. Mughal portraits, normally in profile, are very finely drawn in a realist style, while the best Ottoman ones are vigorously stylized. Album miniatures typically featured picnic scenes, portraits of individuals or (in India especially) animals, or idealized youthful beauties of either sex. |

Chinese influences included the early adoption of the vertical format natural to a book, which led to the development of a birds-eye view
where a very carefully depicted background of hilly landscape or palace buildings rises up to leave only a small area of sky. The tradition
reached a climax in the 16th and early 17th centuries, but continued until the early 19th century, and has been revived in the 20th.
Islamic painting is not at all restricted to religious art, but includes all the art of the rich and varied cultures of Islamic societies as well. It frequently includes secular elements and elements that are frowned upon, if not forbidden, by some Islamic theologians. Figurative painting may cover religious scenes, but normally in essentially secular contexts such as the walls of palaces or illuminated books of poetry. |
