This course will examine the art and architecture of the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal Empires, which controlled most of the Islamic world in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Through an examination of architecture, ceramics, textiles, metalwork, and manuscripts made for the ruling elite of these dynasties, we will discuss the formation of imperial styles, intersections between art and politics, and the importance of the arts in how we perceive these dynasties even today.
