In Ê¿Ali Qoli JebÄdÄr et lâOccidentalism safavide Negar Habibi provides a fresh account of the life and works of Ê¿Ali Qoli JebÄdÄr, a leading painter of the late Safavid period. By collecting several of the artist's paintings and signatures Habibi brings to light the diversity of Ê¿Ali Qoli JebÄdÄr's most important works. In addition, the volume offers us new insights into both the artistic and socio-political evolution of Iranian society in the last days of pre-modern Iran. By carefully consulting the historical sources, Negar Habibi demonstrates the possibility of a female and eunuch patronage in the seventeenth-century paintings known as farangi sÄzi, while suggesting the use of the term "Occidentalism" for those Safavid paintings that show some exotic and alien details of the Western world.
