Men and youths by a stream. Ceramic panel from Chehel Sutun in Iran, Safavid dynasty. Louvre, Paris, France Chehel Sutun (Forty Columns) was a palace built at the behest of Shah Abbas I, who was famous for loving beautiful pages and wine boys. Much of the artistic output of his workshops celebrated love between men and youths. This can be seen in a series of homoerotic ceramic panels (of which this is an example) as well as in the paintings and drawings of artists of his time, such as Riza i-Abbasi (see the Persian Hall of Male Love) [1] archive copy at the Wayback Machine.
