Kamal-ol-molk


Mohammad Ghaffari (1847 - 18 August 1940), better known as Kamal-ol-Molk was an Iranian painter and part of the Ghaffari Clan in Kashan.


Kamal-ol-Molk, born in Kashan in 1847, to a family greatly attached to art, was undoubtedly one of the most eminent artists in Iran. Dubbed as the Michelangelo of Persia,his uncle, Mirza AbolHassan Khan Ghaffari, known as Sanee-ol-Molk, a 19th-century celebrated painter, was unrivalled in watercolor portraits. His father, Mirza Bozorg Ghaffari Kashani, was the founder of Iran's painting school and a famous artist as well.


In this busiest period of Kamal-ol-Molk's artistic life, he created over 170 paintings. Unfortunately, most of these paintings have either been destroyed or taken abroad. The works he created in this period indicate his desire to discover the laws of oil painting. He advanced so much that he even acquired laws of perspective by himself and applied them to his works. His mastery in the delicate use of a brush was well as bright and lively colors distinguished him from his contemporaries.


The increasing pressure on Kamal-ol-Molk, originating in Mozaffareddin Shah's court, left him no option but to leave his country for Iraq, in spite of all the affection he felt for Iran. The visits he made to the holy cities in Iraq inspired his work at this time. "Karbala-ye-Moalla Square", and "Baghdad Jewish Fortune Tellers" are two of his most magnificent works of this period.

The Guarantor of The Gazelle


One day in spring, a family of deer was in the forest. All the sudden, a hunter crossed their way. As he was to shoot the mother deer, in her despair she called the holy Imam Reza, who was said to be able to speak the languages of all animals. If the hunter had shot the mother, both babies would have to die since they still needed their mothers milk. The mother deer asked Imam Reza: "Holy Imam, could you be my toughe? Please ask the hunter to let me live until my children are old enough to look after themself. In fall my children are old enough, then I will come to the hunter to give my live."

The Imam told the hunter, what the mother asked him for. The hunter agreed and let the family go.

Month later the children had grown and went their own way. It was time to keep the promise. The deer mother went to the hunters house and stood in front of the door to receive the deadly arrow. The hunter, surpraised that the deer kept it`s promise, hurried to grab his bow and arrow to shot her. As they stood there and looked at each other, eye to eye, the hunters heart began to beat faster, impressed of the deers honor and braveness. After a while, he lowered his weapon and let this brave mother go her way.
