Persian art
Let an agent explain Persian art, relay periods, media, motifs and influence from art history sources with periodisation and provenance attributed, describe the named periods and motifs, and distinguish Persian art from Islamic art broadly, Mesopotamian art, Ottoman and Mughal art and modern Iranian art as a subset.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled
The visual arts of Iran and the wider Persian cultural sphere over more than five millennia, from ancient Elamite and Achaemenid art through Sasanian, Islamic-era and modern periods, spanning architecture, painting, calligraphy, carpets, ceramics, metalwork and miniatures, with periods and forms the registry aliases name such as the art of ancient Iran, Ilkhanid, Safavid and Qajar art and the gol o bolbol or flower and nightingale motif; Persian art strongly influenced neighbouring cultures. Attribution and periodisation are scholarly matters, and cultural heritage protection and provenance of artefacts, some contested, are attributed.
