Mohammad Reza Emami

Mohammad Reza Emami was a Persian calligrapher in the 17th century. He lived from the era of Abbas I until the era of Suleiman I. He was Ali Reza Abbassi's student and was known as the ''Imam of calligraphers''.

Mohammad Reza Emami was Mohammad Mohsen Emami's father and Ali Naghi Emami's grandfather. All of the three calligraphers were famous for their Thuluth works in the Safavid era. Many inscriptions of the historical buildings in Isfahan, Mashhad, Qom and Qazvin have been created by them.

When Ali Reza Abbassi started to work for Abbas I and became his close friend, Abbas I appointed him as the Thuluth script teacher of some other calligraphers like Mohammad Saleh Esfahani and Abdolbaghi Tabrizi.

He died probably in Mashhad after 50 years working in the field of calligraphy. Provided by Wikipedia
