Download or read book Private Collectors of Islamic Art in Late Nineteenth Century London written by Isabelle Gadoin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines British collectors of so-called Persian art (a broad umbrella term then covering a large portion of Islamic art) in the late 19th century, including ceramics, metalwork, carpets, textiles and woodwork. Based on a foundational event, the very first exhibition of “Persian and Arab Art” held by a London Gentlemen’s Club in 1885, this book follows one generation of men, retracing the subtle shades of difference among “amateurs,” “connoisseurs,” “experts” and “collectors,” and exploring all the mechanisms of the construction of a collective fascination for the Orient. Isabelle Gadoin uncovers some of the first “scientific” analyses of Islamic objects and of the first private notebooks or exhibition catalogues, to provide an in-depth study of the way Westerners talked about Islamic objects and began to define what would become Islamic art history. All the while, Gadoin unravels the skein of Western prejudice, Romantic fancy, sincere admiration and ruthless appropriation, in art collecting, to write a new chapter of Orientalist history. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, history of collecting, colonialism and postcolonialism, and Orientalism.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... NIZAMI (II40-I203 A.D.) Ni?aml, the famous romantic poet of Persia, was born at the city of Ganjah, which corresponds to the modern Elizabetpol in Transcaucasia, and was the author of five long poetic works, each a masterpiece in the domain of the romantic epopee. The composition of these poems covered a period of more than thirty years, or approximately 1165-1198 A.d., and the collection is commonly grouped under the designation of Khamsah, 'Quintet, ' or Panj Ganj, 'Five Treasures.' Some idea of the nature of these poems may be gleaned from their titles and the subjects treated. (1) Makhzan al-Asrar, 'Treasure of Mysteries' (about 2300 couplets), a mystical poem rather than a romance, but brightened by numerous anecdotes poetically told. 3 (2) Khusrau and Shirin (about 7000 couplets), one of the bestknown romantic Persian poems, telling the story of the Sasanian King Khusrau Parwiz II (ruled 590-628 A.d.) and his love for the fair Shirin, together with the tragic fate of Shirin's devoted admirer, Farhad, the heroic artist-sculptor. (3) LaUa and Majnun, sometimes called the Persian Romeo and Juliet, a pathetic and romantic story (in some 4500 couplets) of the ideal love existing between the distraught Majnun and the beauteous Beduin maid, Laila, their union being finally brought about in Paradise. (4) Hast Paikar, or Bahrdm-ndmah, 'The Seven Effigies, ' or' The Story of Bahram and the Seven Princesses, ' a poetic composition (in some 5000 couplets), describing the adventures of the Sasanian King Bahram Gur (ruled 420-438 A.d.), who discovered by chance on the walls of his palace the portraits of seven princesses, each the most beautiful daughter of a different ruler of the world. These he subsequently marries, and he visits them on seven
