created an immense amount of artworks. This section shows just a few. However, using the the Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History, this section links you to the
impressive treasures at Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York City, colloquially,
the "Met".

read the history and essays written by scholars and experts about the dynasty.
