Reseña del libro "Damascus Tiles: Mamluk and Ottoman Architectural Ceramics From Syria (en Inglés)"
Now repackaged in a smaller, reduced priced edition, this highly acclaimed book by a leading Islamic art expert explores one of art history's most overlooked treasures--the vibrant ceramic tiles of Syria and especially its capital Damascus. Architectural ceramic decoration is one of the most celebrated manifestations of the arts of Islam. Spanning a period from the thirteenth to the twentieth century, the tiles featured in this book exhibit a rich range of influences from Persia, Turkey, China and even Europe. A renowned specialist in the fields of Islamic and Indian art, Arthur Millner explores the historical context that allowed the uniquely creative achievement of Syrian craftsmen to flourish, and why tiles from this region are less restricted in artistic expression than those from better-known centers of production. The complex and interconnected nature of tile designs, techniques and color palettes is explored, highlighting what is distinctive about Damascus ceramics and how they relate to tiles produced in other parts of the Islamic world. Finally, the author traces the journey made by many of these tiles to the West, embellishing the interiors of wealthy clients as Islamic art became both fashionable and influential in late nineteenth century art and design. This edition has been updated with additional information, as well as reflecting recent academic research and events in the region.
