ISLAMSKO MINIJATURNO SLIKARSTVO OD 13. DO 18. STOLJEĆA
ISLAMIC MINIATURE PAINTING FROM 13TH TO 18TH CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: Islamic miniature painting, even though insufficiently explored, is an extremely interesting part of the rich tradition of painting art in the Islamic culture. The miniature painting offers plenty of material for more complete and open consideration of the Islamic cultural spirit. There is a great number of figurative compositions, performed with magnificent technical skills in incredibly small perimeters, appearing on the miniatures. They answer to the question how is it possible to accomplish, even in compositions freely opened to unlimited imagination of the artist, the works that consistently and undoubtedly give evidence of the fundamental postulates of the Islamic teachings on existence of the One and Only God, the Almighty, the Most Merciful. A development of miniature painting is mostly related to the scripts of scientific and prosaic literature (in the Arabic world) and to the poetic texts (in Persian culture).
