I was reading something that I will follow up on at a later day and I was struck by the thought that I have never heard of any pre-twentieth century Arab painters or sculptors. I readily admit to big gaps in my education but this has me really stumped and I am quite annoyed by my ignorance.
Who is the Middle East’s equivalent to di Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Rodin, Rembrandt, or Donatello? I tried using online search engines and really got a big nada prior to the twentieth century. Even a name for a 19th century painter or sculptor would be appreciated as a starting point.
