Hello Enzi,
Thanks for the comments.
In fact I WAS very inspired by Persian Portrait Traditions of the Shahs of the 19 Century... (Along with Russian Icons and Ingres). There is a HUGE & magnificent piece in the Louvre representing an oil portrait of the Shah... made in the miniature-decorative style.
Also was very impressed by your website... The portrait of the Black Gentleman is very intriguing!
As what concerns Louis Royo's illustrations... as an enthusiastic Icon painter find it not exactly in my philosophy... Would prefer to discover some rest of Zoroastrian frescoes instead!
