"In the absence of a tradition of self-portraiture, how could artists signal their
presence within a painting? Centred on late Timurid manuscript painting (ca. 1470-1500),
this book reveals that pictures could function as the painter's delegate, charged
with the task of centring and defining artistic work, even as they did not represent
the artist's likeness. Influenced by the culture of the majlis, an institutional gathering
devoted to intricate literary performances and debates, late Timurid painters used
a number of strategies to shift manuscript painting from an illustrative device to
a self-reflective object, designed to highlight the artist's imagination and manual
dexterity. These strategies include visual abundance, linear precision, the incorporation
of inscriptions addressing aspects of the painting and the artist's signature. Focusing
on one of the most iconic manuscripts of the Persianate tradition, the Cairo Bustan,
made in late Timurid Herat and bearing the signatures of the painter Bihzad, this
book argues that Bihzad's paintings defined authorship as making: at once an imaginative
process and a manual endeavour."--Jacket
