Date of birth[edit]

The date of birth varied throughout the article. I changed it to 1848 which is the date widely acknowledged according to the citation which I reproduce below.

Kamāl-al-Molk’s exact date of birth is a matter of controversy. Various estimates by his friends, students, and biographers range from 1848 to 1863. The date of 1848 is widely acknowledged by most biographers, and the date of 1863 implied in the newspaper Šaraf in an obituary of Kamāl-al-Molk’s brother, Abu Torāb Khan, in 1890, was convincingly rejected by Foruḡi (pp. 786-87). It appears that the date of 1848 was first publicized and widely disseminated in the mid-1940s by Ḥasan-ʿAli Vaziri, Kamāl-al-Molk’s loyal student and successor as the dean of his Academy of Fine Arts (Vaziri, 1946). This is largely due to Kamāl-al-Molk’s own imprecise answers to questions about his birth date, indicating that “he was born during the early years of Nāṣer-al-Din Shah’s reign” (r. 1848-96; Ḡani, V, pp. 11-12).

Might be better to remove the date and explain with the above? I will leave that to the articles regular editors. Periglio (talk) 21:42, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

William-Adolphe Bouguereau[edit]

Why is there a painting by William-Adolphe Bouguereau in the gallery? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mpkilla (talkcontribs) 00:16, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well I hadn't seen this post when I responded to your thread here Talk:William-Adolphe Bouguereau#Kamal-ol-molk. I suspect that someone wanted to point out the similarities in the two paintings. As it stands that is both WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. Who knows there may be some scholar out there that has written about the connection. Until someone can supply that as a reference the painting by W-A B should be removed from this article. Thanks for your keen eyesight in this situation.
