Mihr, Ali (Persian painter, active ca. 1795-1830)
|
Note: Mihr 'Ali was an important court painter. He is known to have painted at least ten full-size oil paintings of the Qajar king of Fath 'Ali Shah (reigned 1797-1834). One of the early portraits was a gift to amirs of Sind (1800). Another two were painted for the Hall of the Marble Throne in the Gulistan Palace and for Versailles (a gift to Napoleon). More hang in the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, but Mihr 'Ali's finest work, which perhaps represents the finest Iranian painting, is in the Nigaristan Museum in Tehrān. In this painting, Fath 'Ali Shah is depicted wearing a robe of gold brocade with a huge crown and jewels. He is known to have produced portraits of women and the ancient Persian kings. His last work is a watercolor of a man's head dated 1829. |
