Through works from French collections, this book offers a comprehensive overview of Islamic art, including contemporary artists. It allows for a better understanding of certain cross-cutting issues, such as the place of the secular, the religious, and the image, and invites readers to explore a vast territory with multiple cultures and exchanges, between Asia, Africa, and Europe. From Samarkand to Cordoba, via the Taj Mahal, Isfahan, Istanbul, Cairo, Fez, and many other places, we discover the tremendous variety of these creations. Even more astonishing, the history of these works or traveling objects testifies to the mutual fascination that Europe and the Islamic world have maintained since the Middle Ages.
