WALL STREET JOURNAL
NEW YORK - The Morgan Library and Museum in New York spotlights a lesser-known pocket of its collection with "Treasures of Islamic Manuscript Painting From the Morgan." Gems include the late 13th-century Persian manuscript "Two Mountain Rams Fighting," above. The text is a treatise on animals; details like the bridge and gold clouds reflect Chinese artistic styles introduced by the Mongol invasion. Through Jan. 29. [link]
