Iran/Tehran/Iranology Foundation. Learn how to act sincerely from Ali, by. Hasan Esmailzadeh (Chalipa) 1922 - 2007. The Teashop painting is a style of oil painting on canvases or walls developed in the public by the amateur painters of the Safavid Dynasty. This style of painting prevailed until the Qajar Dynsty, and the first king of the Pahlavi Dynsty, and was consistent with the then social and political conditions. This art was distinguished from the court painting in that it was for the public. These curtains were generally in two dimensions, and the third dimension that necessitated perspective was disregarded in this style of painting. This style was commonly called, 'the maghami perspective". In this style, the images of the important figures were larger and in front of others, and showed more details reflecting the importance of the figure. The figures of less important figures were smaller and farther. Among the other examples of this style of painting, the paintings of Ancient Egypt and Mesopothania can be mentioned. The teashop painting is basically an imaginative art, in which the painter does painting without looking at any model. What the painter paints is the product of their imagination, and the painting is done on an imaginative basis with respect to the available evidence and information, such as the Karbala Desert, the Ashura Event, the Doomsday scenario, and the epic pictures of the Shahnameh. What gave rise to this style of painting was the old tradition of storytelling in Iran. These paintings had two dimensions and lacked the third dimension, i.e., perspective. The storyteller related to the people, the Iranian national and epic stories, as well as the religious messages, and the events that had happened to the religious figures, in a harmonious tone. These paintings usually were hung in the then teashops, husseiniehs (a place for religious gatherings), zurkhanehs (traditional clubs), and bathrooms. This portrait is an oil painting painted on canvas.
