Isfahan

This piece has been inspired by different examples of Persian Architecture. It’s a loose interpretation, because I did not set out to reproduce any specific, well-known building. I gleaned ideas and concepts from here and there, mainly from different temples located in the Iranian city of Isfahan. The main dome is modeled on the structure of the “Moder-É Shah”. The pillars and vaults are inspired by the “Mosque of Iman” but the ornamentation is made up. I apologize in advance to any specialists in Islamic Art out there, should they stumble upon any serious conceptual errors.
