PersiaPersia, which has the-distinction of being the cradle of civilization in Asia has made lasting contributions to the development of Islamic fine arts.The development of painting and other fine arts in Persia dates back to even before the Abbasid Caliphate. During the golden period of the Abbasid Caliphate when arts and literature flourished, the Persian influence in fine arts, especially in painting, was very strong. Except for the ornamental wall paintings, which came to light in the Palaces of Samarra during the course of excavations, no traces of Persian painting of the Sassanian period has been found.The first extant work of Persian painting of the Saljuq period dates to the 12th century and the tendencies evident in this work continued upto the end of the 13th century A.D. The works of this period are astonishing in their refinement of colour shading and the "forcible depiction of their subjects". The witty conceits of Abu Said of Serruj are highly commendable. The 'Minai' pottery of Raghes (c 1200) which borrowed the Baghdad style of painting was also prevalent throughout Persia.
