サザビーズのインスタグラム(sothebys) - 10月18日 20時02分

An extremely rare #portrait of a young #nobleman and its pendant portrait of a young #lady are preparing to go on view in our #London galleries on Friday – ahead of next week’s Arts of the Islamic World auction. Two of only fifteen such paintings known to exist, they are among the first large-scale Safavid oil #paintings inspired by #Europe. By the seventeenth century, #Isfahan was a melting pot of political, commercial and cultural influences which created a dynamic environment for the development of the arts. The introduction of the European aesthetic came about as a result of the constant stream of European envoys and delegations to the #court of #Persian #Emperor Shah Abbas. It is thought that they once decorated the houses of the wealthiest merchants and noblemen – prestigious works of art with which to show off a fashionable appreciation of international cultural influences. Or perhaps they were painted as #marriage or #betrothal portraits, in much the same way as had occurred in Europe for centuries. The works come to auction from a distinguished private collection, underpinned by major #drawings and #paintings from the #Safavid and #Qajar dynasties. #SothebysMiddleEast #PersianArt
