Mirza Baba (Persian painter, active ca. 1795-1830)
|
Note: Mirza Baba was the official painter for the Qajar family. When Agha Muhammad Khan (reigned 1779-1797) established his royal court, Mirza Baba became the official court painter. Although he depicted portraits of Persian kings such as Sassanian king Hurmuzd IV (reigned 579-590) and the Saljuq ruler Malikshah (reigned 1072-1092), Mirza Baba is known for his still lifes. The painter also worked under Fath 'Ali Shah (reigned 1797-1834); during this period he worked on the portrait of Fath 'Ali Shah (1798-1799) and the manuscript Khaqan (the king's copy of Divān). |
