Description: Turning an object of everyday life into a dazzling artwork is a salient feature of the arts produced in premodern Islamic lands. Drawing on the exquisite collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, newly reinstalled in expanded galleries, this course explores the art of the object, focusing specifically on the metal wares produced in the Persianate lands, ca. 1000-1700 CE. Students will gain hands-on experience in analyzing and researching art objects.
In addition to participating in the course activities, graduate students will submit a research paper (18-20 pages) Cross-list: HART 316.
