This translation provides Farsi-speaking readers with an opportunity to explore the intricate connections between visual arts, cultural representations, and the theme of blindness. In this insightful work, Moshe Barasch delves into the span of art history, from antiquity to the eighteenth century, to examine how blindness has been depicted and symbolized.
