7. Art

Persian art or Iranian art (Persian: هنر ایرانی) has one of the richest art heritages in world history and has been strong in many media including architecture, painting, weaving, pottery, calligraphy, metalworking and sculpture. At different times, influences from the art of neighboring civilizations have been very important, and latterly Persian art gave and received major influences as part of the wider styles of Islamic art. This article covers the art of Persia up to 1925, and the end of the Qajar dynasty; for later art see Iranian modern and contemporary art, and for traditional crafts see arts of Iran. Rock art in Iran is its most ancient surviving art. Iranian architecture is covered at that article.

From the Achaemenid Empire of 550 BC–330 BC for most of the time a large Iranian-speaking state has ruled over areas similar to the modern boundaries of Iran, and often much wider areas, sometimes called Greater Iran, where a process of cultural Persianization left enduring results even when rulership separated. The courts of successive dynasties have generally led the style of Persian art, and court-sponsored art has left many of the most impressive survivals.

8.: Government system.

monarchy

Based in what is now Iran, the Persian Empire combined an absolute monarchy with a decentralized administration and widespread local autonomy. Respect for local institutions and religious practices encouraged conquered peoples to embrace the empire, and existing bureaucratic organizations and personnel were used whenever possible. Provincial governors known as satraps wielded considerable power, but their ability to rebel was held in check with military garrisons, periodic inspections, and the deployment of officials answerable only to the king.
