About Muhammadi
Muhammadi was a draftsperson, illustrator and painter.
Young prince, painted and signed by Muhammad Haravi, mid-16th century. Muhammad Haravi ("Muhammad of Herat", active 1560-1590), also called Muhammadi, was a Safavid painter of the mid-16th century, officiating particularly at the court of Shah Tahmasp and his successors.
From the mid-16th century, Muhammadi took the forefront of painting creation in Persia, together with other famous figures such as Mirza Ali and Shaykh Muhammad. These artists, led by Muhammadi, excelled in harmonizing Persian painting with Persian poetry. Their style would be later adopted and popularized by Riza Abbasi.
His productivity seems to have peaked in the service of Hamza Mirza. Towards the end of his career, he experimented with monotone tinted paintings, in green or yellow.
