Islamic Art: Geometric Patterns, Volume 3: Masterworks
$19.99
An educational coloring book with an exquisite collection of geometric masterworks from Islamic civilization's most accomplished artisan traditions, featuring 55 black-and-white line illustrations of historically accurate geometric patterns to color and detailed stories around each design’s cultural and historical heritage.
Islamic Art: Geometric Patterns Coloring Book, Volume 3: Masterworks presents the pinnacle achievements of Islamic geometric art - patterns of extraordinary mathematical sophistication and supreme craftsmanship that adorned the most prestigious monuments and manuscripts across a thousand-year tradition.
This advanced volume features patterns from the golden age of geometric innovation: Mamluk Egypt (13th-15th centuries), Timurid Central Asia (14th-15th centuries), and Seljuk Anatolia (12th-15th centuries) - the cultures that pushed geometric design to its ultimate expression.
What makes this collection unique is it includes "nonsystematic" patterns - geometric compositions so complex they defied standardized formulas and required master artisans to engineer entirely original solutions for each design. These represent the apex of the geometric tradition, created by craftsmen who devoted lifetimes to mastering sacred geometry.
