The cobalt blue of a Persian twelve-point star tile from circa 1445 is so bright, it looks like it was painted yesterday. This tile will be on display as part of the exhibition 'Splendour and Bliss: Arts of the Islamic World,' along with hundreds of other treasures that have seldom, if ever, been exhibited before. From flowing calligraphy to exuberant floral motifs, from geometric star patterns to arabesques and life-like birds and fish, this stunning show shines a spotlight on the Gemeentemuseum's rich holdings in Islamic art. With glass, metal objects, rugs and wooden doors dating from the years 900 to 1900, it is considered one of the finest in the Netherlands. This beautifully illustrated catalogue focuses on the ornamental character of Islamic art and on stories of culture, tradition and craft. It highlights a side of Islamic culture that is rarely touched upon in the public debate: the positive message and exuberance of Islamic art.
