ABSTRACT: Manuscripts are known for their
historical role as explanatory drawings for medical and literary manuscripts.
However, the Muslim artist had initially recourse to this Art to speak about
his reality including the daily life aspects and his spiritual world. Despite
the richness of Islamic manuscript paintings and the prevalence of this Art
practice by Muslim artists throughout several periods and eras, both the public
and scientific interest are still very limited. This current research aims to
determine the artistic and aesthetic values of the manuscript paintings in both
Arabic and Persian schools. The goal is to contribute to appreciating
manuscript paintings, revitalize the interest and develop their aesthetic and
artistic aspects. Through this research we also discuss and analyze the
differences between Arabic and Persian schools through selected models from
both of them.
