Yahya ibn Mahmud al-Wasiti (Arabic: يحيى بن محمود الواسطي) was a 13th-century Iraqi-Arab[1][2][3] painter and calligrapher, noted for his illustrations of al-Hariri's Maqamat.
Biography
Al-Wasiti was probably born in Wasit واسط south of Baghdad.[4] In 1237 he transcribed and illustrated a copy of al-Hariri's Maqamat typically shortened to Maqamat, and also known as the Assemblies,[5] a series of anecdotes of social satire written by Al-Hariri of Basra. Al-Wasiti's illustrations, which are among the finest examples of a style used in the 13th-century, served as an inspiration for the modern Baghdad art movement in the 20th-century.[6]
Very little is known about his life. He was from the 13th century school of painting. He was known for his articulate painting style.[7]
Illustrations from Maqamat
In total, Maqmat has 96 illustrations, all by al-Wasiti. They are of "outstanding quality with fine composition, expressive figures, and vivid but controlled colours" and provide readers with "fascinating series of glimpses into and commentaries on 13th-century Islāmic life."[8]
