    The Court of Gayumars

    in RESOURCES

    I'm currently recreating The Court of Gayumars, my all-time favourite painting which is held in the Aga Khan collection in Toronto. Enjoy the quick video above! (In the live sessions, we've moved on much further.)

    Although the painting is apparently resting (thank you @Sayeda Habib for the info!), you can find out more about it in these great lectures by the Khan academy (unrelated to the Aga Khan I think!): The Introduction:
