U is for Kamāl ud-Dīn Behzād


I know nothing about Persian art, but that won't stop me from showing the beautiful images I found by Kamāl ud-Dīn Behzād.  The techniques used are like those seen in illuminated manuscripts.  Miniature painting became a significant Persian genre in the 13th century, with a peak in 15th and 16th centuries.    Kamāl ud-Dīn Behzād was the director of a royal workshop producing miniature paintings.  I really love the architecture.
