Muhammad Panah
Muhammad Panah is a Baroque artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Muhammad Panah worked in 18th-century Persia, painting portraits of powerful figures. Their Nadir Shah (c. 1740) shows the ruler in regal robes, seated on a carpeted dais with a drawn sword. In the background, the artist included a tiled courtyard and a distant city wall to frame the scene.
Compare the delicate floral borders on the carpet to the bold strokes defining the ruler’s fierce expression. Look for the way the light catches the metal of the sword, sharper than the surrounding ornament. Tap Nadir Shah to step inside this moment where power and artistry meet.
