Bahram Mirza Album

The Bahram Mirza Album is the art collection of the Safavid prince Bahram Mirza Safavi, compiled by Dust Muhammad Haravi between 1543 and 1545. Dust Muhammad Haravi was asked to compile this retrospective album of Persian miniature painting by Bahram Mirza, so “that the scattered folios of past and present masters should be brought out of the region of dispersal into the realm of collectedness". Kept in the Topkapı Palace in Istanbul since the second half of the 16th-century, it appears to have had a significant influence on Safavid Iran's perception of a unique Persian artistic style.
