An illuminated folio from the 'Kitab al-Diriyak' (Book of Antidotes of Pseudo Galen). The physician Andromakhos observes various agricultural activities.

The so-called Mosul School of Painting refers to a style of miniature painting that developed in northern Iraq in the late 12th to early 13th century under the patronage of the Zangid dynasty (1127-1222). In technique and style the Mosul school was similar to the painting of the Seljuq Turks, who controlled Iraq at that time, but the Mosul artists had a sharper sense of realism based on the subject matter and degree of detail in the painting rather than on representation in three dimensions, which did not occur. Most of the Mosul iconography was Seljuq for example, the use of figures seated cross-legged in a frontal position. Certain symbolic elements however, such as the crescent and serpents, were derived from the classical Mesopotamian repertory. Most Mosul paintings were illustrations of manuscripts-mainly scientific works, animal books, and lyric poetry. A frontispiece painting, now held in the Bibliotheque National, Paris, dating from a late 12th century copy of Galen's medical treatise, the Kitab al-diriyak ('Book of Antidotes'), is a good example of the earlier work of the Mosul school. It depicts four figures surrounding a central, seated figure who holds a crescent-shaped halo. The painting is in a variety of whole hues; reds, blues, greens, and gold. The Kufic lettering is blue.
