Riza-yi 'Abbasi stands with Bihzad as one of the greatest of
Iranian artists. As the leading painter at the court of Shah 'Abbas
I (1587-1629), Riza often expressed the progressive mood of Safavid
Iran in his work. During the early years of 'Abbas's Reign, when
the Shah was occupied with the unification of the country, Riza's
paintings and drawings depicted the young, the hope of the future
state. By the 1620s he had begun to copy drawings by Bihzad, the
great Timurud painter, and he continued to produce many portraits
of rare insight. Each stage of Riza's development exerted enormous
influence; working within the idiom he had popularized, Iranian
artists maintained a distinctive style until the end of the
seventeenth century, when Western attitudes and practices inundated
the traditional art of Iran. "Rebellious Reformer" provides a
complete catalog of Riza's work and analyzes the relationship of
his life to his stylistic development. All available extant works
signed by or attributed to Riza are included.
