Mohammad Zaman
Muhammad Zaman ibn Haji Yusuf Qumi, known as Mohammad Zaman (Floruit, fl. 1650 – c. 1700), was a famous Safavid Persian calligraphy, calligrapher and Persian painting, painter. Life While it has previously been claimed that the painter Mohammad Zaman was born in Kerman, Safavid Iran, Persia to Hajji, Haji Yusuf, and received his education in Tabriz by Nicholas Martinovich and Fredrik Martin, it is likely that they mixed up the painter with another man with the same name. The date and place of birth of the Safavid painter Mohammad Zaman remain unknown. Similarly, the claim that he was sent by Abbas II of Persia, Shah Abbas II of Persia to Rome to study Italian painting, and there he converted to Christianity cannot be confirmed. The Persian paintings signed or attributed to Mohammad Zaman in fact reference Flemish engravings instead of Italian sources. Therefore, it likely was a different man bearing the same name who converted, took the name of Paolo, and was forced to flee to ...

18th-century Iranian Painters
The 18th century lasted from 1 January 1701 (represented by the Roman numerals MDCCI) to 31 December 1800 (MDCCC). During the 18th century, elements of Enlightenment thinking culminated in the Atlantic Revolutions. Revolutions began to challenge the legitimacy of monarchical and aristocratic power structures. The Industrial Revolution began mid-century, leading to radical changes in human society and the environment. The European colonization of the Americas and other parts of the world intensified and associated mass migrations of people grew in size as part of the Age of Sail. During the century, slave trading expanded across the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, while declining in Russia and China. Western historians have occasionally defined the 18th century otherwise for the purposes of their work. For example, the "short" 18th century may be defined as 1715–1789, denoting the period of time between the death of Louis XIV of France and the start of the French Revolution, ...
