İstanbul, Isfahan, Delhi 3 Capitals of Islamic Art masterpieces from the Louvre collection_{İstanbul, Isfahan, Delhi}

The catalog, consisting of treasures collected and preserved in one of the Louvre's most important collections, the Division of Islamic Art, encompasses works from the Ottoman Empire (1299-1923), the Safavid State (1501-1722) founded in Iran at the beginning of the sixteenth century, and the Mughal Dynasty that ruled over India during the same period (1526-1858), has been organized in cooperation with the Louvre Museum and with the participation of the Museum of Decorative Arts.

This catalog presents a reflection of the historical relationship among three mighty Empires, the Ottoman, the Safavid in Iran and the Mughal in India, in terms of its cultural aspects, emphasizing both the common and differing artistic attributes of their shared heritage of the Timurid culture that dominated the vast geography of Iran from 1396 to 1510.
