Though at various stages it has been affected
by Chinese and Eastern influences, Persian miniature art has
developed its own distinctive features. Iran's miniature artists
are recognizable for their emphasis on natural and realist motifs.
Also worth noting is the Persian technique of "layering"
perspectives to create a sense of space. For example, in the
miniature piece at right, the variety of views is noticeable
in the arrangement of objects: birds inhabit both the foreground
and background of the piece, with the floral objects positioned
in between. This gives the viewer a sense of three-dimensional
space and the ability to focus on certain aspects of the piece
to the exclusion of others. Content and form are fundamental
elements of Persian miniature painting, and miniature artists
are renowned for their modest, subtle use of color.
