This course surveys the art and architecture of the Islamic world from 1100 to 1500. In that period, political fragmentation into multiple principalities challenged a deeply rooted ideology of unity of the Islamic world. The course of the various principalities competed not only in politics but also in the patronage of architectural projects and of arts (e.g., textiles, ceramics, woodwork, arts of the book). While focusing on the central Islamic lands, we consider regional traditions from Spain to India and the importance for the arts of contacts with China and the West. P. Berlekamp. Autumn.

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.
