The Metropolitan Museum of Art is home to almost 12,000 pieces of Islamic art, created between the seventh and nineteenth centuries. RumiNations is The Met's blog dedicated to this art collection. Here, visitors can find detailed descriptions, analyses, and histories of these works. For example, one recent post explores an illustrated manuscript for Farid al-Din 'Attar's The Conference of the Birds, "one of the most adored masterpieces of Islamic literature." Another post discusses the Company School paintings that emerged from late eighteenth century India and blended aesthetic techniques and conventions from the Mughal Empire with European conventions. The Met currently has a special exhibit of Company School paintings, which will run through October 1, 2017. Readers will also find an interview with printmaker Zarina Hashmi, whose work is featured in a 2017 Met exhibition.
