Item Details
Description
  • Item: A 19th century Qajar Dynasty pottery tile with underglaze, molded decoration of a man on horseback with his bird flying over to catch a prize from his hand. Qajar art refers to the art, architecture, and art-forms of the Qajar dynasty of the late Persian Empire, which lasted from 1781 to 1925. The boom in artistic expression that occurred during the Qajar era was the fortunate side effect of the period of relative peace that accompanied the rule of Agha Muhammad Khan and his descendants. With his ascension, the bloody turmoil that had been the 18th century in Persia came to a close, and made it possible for the peacetime arts to again flourish. Tilework of the Qajar period (1779–1925) was the dominant form of architectural decoration in Iran and is seen in the spectacular and colorful mosques, palaces, opulent private houses, bathhouses, bazaars and city gates which have survived from the reigns of Fath Ali Shah (r. 1797–1834) and his great grandson Nasiruddin Shah (r. 1848–1896) in the capital Tehran and regional cities such as Isfahan and Shiraz. Three soundly based traditional techniques were used: mosaic, overglaze painting and underglaze painting. The collections of the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art (DDFIA) illustrate these techniques and also their survival and development in the Pahlavi period (1925–1979), during which descendants of Qajar tile makers continued to practice the craft skills of their families.
