Sultan Mohammed • between 1539 and 1543
This painting represents, according to the scholarly consensus, the single greatest visualization of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad's Night Journey and Ascension in the entire history of Persian and Islamic illuminated manuscript art. The painting of Prophet's ascension by Sultan Muhammad exemplifies the apex of Islamic religious art. Sultan Muhammad's work integrates mysticism, literature, and Quranic themes into its visual narrative. A century after its creation, the painting was considered so important that it was restored by Mohammad Zaman during the reign of Suleiman I in Persia — a posthumous act of preservation that confirms its status even within Safavid culture as an object of exceptional significance.
