Embracing over a thousand years of history and an area stretching from the Atlantic to the borders of India and China, this is an unrivalled synthesis of the arts of Islamic civilization. From the death of the Prophet Muhammad to the present day, Robert Hillenbrand traces the evolution of an extraordinary range of art forms, including architecture, calligraphy, book illumination, painting, ceramics, glassware, textiles and metalwork. New to this edition is a chapter ranging from c. 1700 to c. 1900, a period very often neglected in books on this subject. Hillenbrand explores how recent centuries, far from being a dark age, have seen incredible artistic ferment and creativity across the Islamic world. Full-colour illustrations of masterpieces of Islamic art and architecture - from Moorish Spain to contemporary Iran - show the far-reaching stylistic developments as well as the recurrent preoccupations that have shaped the arts of Islam since the seventh century.… (más)

This is a truly illuminating survey, written in a lively, forthright style that captures the author's character and perspective without undercutting the book's objective task. (I especially enjoyed Hillenbrand's use of a delightfully broad vocabulary, that kept even this English M.A. thumbing his dictionary!) I disagree with the strictures offered by the earlier reviewer pranogajec, whose expertise (as a historian of architecture) is far greater than mine, but whose expectations may be distorted by that very fact. Naturally a historian of architecture wants more on buildings and less on metalwork, pottery, textiles, book illustrations (those dreaded "minor arts"). But I was grateful for Hillenbrand's catholicity. There are other books on all these subjects, after all, including architecture, and he makes one eager to read them.

At the Mexican university high school where I teach, I am responsible for survey courses in comparative global art history and literary history (as well as philosophy, history, and the social sciences - I'm very much the humanities generalist). In the course covering the period from prehistory through the middle ages, I have about two hours to discuss Islamic subjects - not much! But Hillenbrand's text and illustrations offered me a number of ideas for doing so, building off one of my basic sources, Marilyn Stokstad's two-volume "Art History." ( )
