About the artist

PORTRAIT D'UN SOUVERAIN KADJAR — Sketch , 20 × 30 cm (representative image)
PORTRAIT D'UN SOUVERAIN KADJAR

France

Mihr Ali était un peintre persan actif entre 1795 et les années 1830, principalement connu pour ses portraits de Fath Ali Chah Qadjar, souverain de la dynastie Qadjar. Nommé "Naqqach-Bachi" (premier peintre de cour) en 1803, il a réalisé une série de portraits du chah, le représentant en pleine gloire avec sa longue barbe noire et ses caftans richement ornés. Ces œuvres, exécutées à l'huile sur toile, illustrent l'influence européenne sur l'art qadjar de l'époque.

Parmi ses œuvres notables, on compte le "Portrait de Fath Ali Chah" (vers 1806) conservé au musée du Louvre à Paris, et un autre portrait du chah (1813-1814) exposé au musée de l'Ermitage à Saint-Pétersbourg. Mihr Ali a également décoré les murs du nouveau palais d'Ispahan, illustrant des rois de la mythologie persane et des figures du "Livre des Rois" à échelle humaine. Certaines de ces œuvres, longtemps considérées comme perdues, sont réapparues lors de ventes aux enchères, témoignant de l'importance continue de son travail dans l'histoire de l'art persan.
