Ilkhanid Persian Miniature Painting

Timeline

1. 1300–1310Tabriz · IranRashid al-Din Fazlallah oversaw compilation of the Jami al-Tawarikh and established the Rab'-i Rashidi workshop in Tabriz, systematically producing historical and scientific book illustrations and establishing the classic style of Ilkhanid miniature painting.
2. 1311–1320Tabriz · IranAfter Rashid al-Din's execution in 1318 the workshops were impacted, but Abu Sa'id still patronized book production after accession; painters inherited earlier composition and color traditions while absorbing more Chinese elements in figure and landscape depiction.
3. 1335–1353Tabriz · IranAfter the Ilkhanate's collapse, former workshop painters dispersed to Shiraz, Baghdad, and elsewhere; the Ilkhanid style gradually merged into the later Jalayirid and Timurid miniature traditions, influencing Persian painting in the second half of the 14th century.
