Miraj Muhammad's Ascent by Sultan Muhammad T-Shirt
- from our Affiliates
"Miraj" (Muhammad's ascent) printed by Sultan Muhammad. British Library Ms Or. 2265, folio 195r From a Khamsa of Nizami of 1539-43 in Tabriz This was perhaps the aged Sultan Muhammad's last painting, and it is an unquestioned masterpiece. Shah Tashmasp, the ruler of Iran, had by this point become more orthodox and disenchanted with miniature painting, and this work stands as one of the last paintings dedicated to him. I'm sure he appreciated it, both for its intrinsic beauty and religious subject matter.
