Mohammad Hosayni Emami

Mohammad Hosayni Emami was a notable Iranian lacquer painter from the Emami family in Isfahan, active during the reign of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar. Working in the traditional style, he was most active during the 1860s and 1870s, though he had already painted a portrait of Naser al-Din Shah in 1845 when the Shah was still the heir-apparent. Over the course of his career, Emami achieved the title of naqqash-bashi, and the art historian Basil William Robinson attributes much of Isfahan's finest lacquerwork to him.
Mohammad Hosayni Emami was also the father of Mirza Aqa Emami, another distinguished member of the Emami family.
