Abstract

This research paper identifies the effective factors of the flourishing of art in the Timurid era at Herat and its adjoining territories, which was one of the critical periods in the history of Khurasan/Afghanistan. Here the goal is to analyze the factors that led to the growth of art in and around Herat. In this regard, this paper is organized under several titles. Using the descriptive-analytical method here, the process of the development of a particular tradition of art and the role of the Timurid rulers and their patronage to related activities is discussed. Since the role of courtiers- amirs, and elders was equally important in this process, their contribution in various fields, especially science, literature, political and social life at Herat city is worth noting. It seems that the artistic and cultural background responsible for the thriving of art in the Timurid period in Khurasan province, especially in Herat city, was in continuation from the not-so-distant past. In this background the factors responsible for the development of Timurid art and crafts are to be investigated. The main question is about the leading factors contributing to the prospering of Timurid art and certain other cultural attainments in this part of the Islamicate. The answers to this and other related questions can be very instrumental in understanding the reasons and the actual scenario behind prospering of the art and its allied subjects during the Timurid period at Herat.
