The present catalogue, which follows the first one curated by James W. Allan in 1986, illustrates a selection of objects from the collection. It studies the main regional schools that flourished in this expression of Islamic art, in particular in the areas of Iran and Central Asia, through specimens representing the breadth of their production. The items date mainly to the Medieval era, between the 9th and the 14th centuries, but include later works too. A journey to discover an extremely technical and complex art, sometimes a real exercise in virtuosity, and one that is ultimately fascinating and sophisticated. Islamic metalwork has been deeply admired for centuries also in the Western world, providing a source of inspiration. The different shapes, uses and manufactures of the pieces in the collection offer a good overview of the main artistic streams in the metalworking art and open a window on the luxuries of the princely courts as well as on the everyday life of parts of Muslim society. They offer up a largely unknown vision of Islam. 650 0 $a Islamic metal-work $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Art metal-work, Medieval $z Islamic countries $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Art metal-work $x Private collections $z Italy $v Catalogs. 600 10 $a Tagliacozzo, Armando $x Art collections $v Catalogs. 610 20 $a Aron collection $v Catalogs. 650 7 $a Art metal-work, Medieval. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815603 650 7 $a Art metal-work $x Private collections. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815590 650 7 $a Art $x Private collections. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815314 650 7 $a Islamic metal-work. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01730347 651 7 $a Islamic countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244130 651 7 $a Italy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204565 655 7 $a Catalogs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423692 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014013.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B71813C6A5B811ECBC4A196C2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
