Mohammad Ghaffari, better known as Kamal-ol-molk, was born in Kashan in 1848 to a family with a strong artistic tradition, as we trace their origins back to notable painters during the reign of Nadershah. His father, Mirza Bozorg Ghaffari Kashani, was the founder of Iran’s painting school and a famous artist as well. His brother, Aboutorab Ghaffari, was also a distinguished painter of his time. Kamal’s uncle, Mirza Abolhassan Khan Ghaffari, known as Sanee-ol-Molk, was notable for his watercolor portraiture.

Mohammad developed an interest in calligraphy and painting at a young age. Upon completion of his primary education, Mohammad moved to Tehran. To further his studies, he registered in Dar-Ul-Funun school, a modern institute of higher learning in Persia, where he studied painting with Mozayyen-od-Doleh, a well-known painter who had visited Europe and studied western art. He studied there for a period of three years. In his school days, the young Ghaffari was given the name Mirza Mohammad Kashi. In his visits to Dar-ul-Funun Naser-al-Din Shah came to know Mohammad Ghaffari and invited him to the court. Mohammad further improved his technique and Nasereddin Shah gave him the title “Kamal-ol-Molk” (perfection of land).

In this busiest period of Kamal-ol-Molk’s artistic life, he created over 170 paintings. However most of these paintings have either been destroyed or taken abroad.

Kamal-ol-Molk died in Nishapur, Iran in 1940. His mourners, especially family and closely related friends, marched his body next to the tomb of poet, Attar.
