MIR MUSAVVIR CREATIVITY

Abstract

      It is not known when and with which work Mir Musavvir started his independent creativity. One of his still known works, the miniature "Ardashir and Gulnar" painted for the "Shahname" was made in 1527 according to the inscription on the portal. The multi-figure composition of the works "Zohhak's horror", "Manuchohr's accession to the throne" and "Zal Mihrab receives the gifts sent from Kabul", the expressive solution of the main character and additional characters, and the great skillful description of the architectural forms and elements of the artist Dust Mohammad fully justifies the praises he said about him. While writing that he worked together with Aga Mirek in "Khamsa" and "Shahname" prepared for Tahmasib, Dust Mohammad notes that their works are at a very high level, and it is impossible to evaluate them properly.
