An exploration of death through the artifacts of mesoamerica and mexica, Eduardo Moctezuma takes us into the cultural beliefs and practices relating to death and dying.

The sixteenth century saw a flowering of classical painting in Persia. Arts flourished under the aegis of the Shahs, and the pages reproduced in this volume represent the most unusual and dazzling miniatures in these Safavid manuscripts. Each plate is approximately 8 1/2 by 11 inches. Would be ideal for framing if so desired.
|
Tao-Chi was born in 1641 to a distant branch of the Ming Imperial family, unlike his contemporaries, the orthodox painters of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century who viewed nature through the styles of earlier Sung and Yuan masters.
