Aliquli Jabbadar
Aliquli Jabbadar (‘Alī-qolī Jabbadār; fl. 1666 – 1694) was an Iranian artist, one of the first to have incorporated
European influences in the traditional Safavid-era miniature painting. He is known for his scenes of the Safavid courtly life, especially his careful rendition of the physical setting and of details of dress.[1]
Jabbadar's name appears on a number of miniatures dating from the 17th century, including four from the
Georgian inscriptions. He also referred himself as ghulāmzāda-i qadimi ("former slave"), beg ("lord"), naqqash-bashi ("head of mosaics") and jabbadār ("keeper of the armory"), suggesting that he was one of those ghulām, who rose to ranks at the Safavid court.[1]
