{{main|Persian miniature}}
[[Persian art]] has a long tradition of the use of miniatures, both for illustrated books and individual pieces, which were collected in albums (''[[muraqqa]]'').  The [[Mughal miniature]] tradition was heavily influenced by Persia, and began when a group of artists was recruited for India, miniatures having fallen into disfavour in the Persian court of [[Tahmasp I]].  [[Reza Abbasi]] (1565–1635), considered one of the most renowned Persian painters of all time, specialized in the Persian miniature, with a preference for naturalistic subjects. Today his surviving works can be found in many of the major museums of the [[Western world]], such as the [[Smithsonian]], the [[Louvre]] and the [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]].

In 2020, [[UNESCO]] declared the miniature art of [[Azerbaijan]], [[Iran]], [[Turkey]] and [[Uzbekistan]] as one of the masterpieces of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/art-of-miniature-01598 |title=Art of miniature |work=[[UNESCO]] |access-date=19 December 2020 |language=en }}</ref>
