Fascinating stuff. Islamic art is so richly beautiful. Even more breathtaking when we learn more about it. Thank you for that.

I gasped at Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent's tughra. It's breathtakingly beautiful! I have always wanted to learn more about art from the Muslim world, and I'm glad that Substack made it possible.
