Shaykh 'Abbasi

His work has been proposed as evidence of a cultural exchange between 17th-century Iranian artists and Golconda artists from the same time period. • Illustration — The Judgment of Solomon, Isfahan 1664. Davids Museum Copenhagen. A total of 25 paintings have been attributed to Shaykh 'Abbasi, including illuminations from manuscripts and miniatures featuring, among other subjects, Safavid emperors and the Madonna and Child, colored in pale, transparent tones. Given the activities of contemporaneous artists, it is highly likely that he also painted on objects made from papier-mâché that was lacquered. He trained his two sons, 'Ali Naqi and Mohammad Taqi, in the same style.
