After the conversion from Zoroastrianism to Islam, Persian art continued its visual practices. Persian miniatures provide great examples of such continued attempts. The deliberate lack of perspective in Persian miniature enabled the artist to have different plots and sub-plots within the same image space. A very popular form of such art was Pardeh Khani. Another type of art in the same category was Naqqali. Popular dramatic performance arts in Iran before the advent of cinema included Marionette, Saye-bazi (shadow plays), Rouhozi (comical acts), and Ta’zieh.
