OF KINGS AND PAINTINGS is a documentary presenting the history of the luxurious art that was commissioned during the Qajar Dynasty (1785 – 1925), and explores the world in which it was created. Through interviews with history and art experts, the film traces the trajectory of Qajar art and its evolution from the traditional world of its early period under Fath ʿAli Shah to its later Europeanized conception in the Nasiri era influenced by the arrival of modernity in the form of photography. Weaving together art and history, the film looks deeply at the art and culture of an era that until recently lacked prominence. It further allows the viewer to see many hard-to-access artworks from over 200 years in all their lavish glory.
