The Demotte Shah-nameh is but the most remarkable of a whole series of 14th-century manuscripts, all of which suggest an art of painting in search of a coherent style.
A more organized and stylistically coherent period in Persian painting began around 1396 with the Khwaju Kermani manuscript (British Museum) and culminated between 1420 and 1440 in the paintings produced by the Herat school, where the emperor Baysunqur created an academy in which classical Iranian literature was codified, copied, and illustrated.
Although several Shah-namehs are known from this time, the mood of these manuscripts is no longer epic but lyrical.
