ARTH 16809 - Islamic Art and Architecture,1500 to 1900

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

This course surveys the art and architecture of the Islamic world from 1500 to 1900. This was the period of the three great Islamic empires (i.e., Ottomans, Safavids, Mughals). Each of these multi-religious, multi-linguistic, multi-ethnic empires developed styles of art and architecture that expressed their own complex identities. Further, they expressed their complex relations with each other through art and architecture. We also consider ways in which contact with regions beyond the Islamic world throughout this period impacted the arts. P. Berlekamp. Spring.
