History
Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah
The fifth sultan of the dynasty, Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, is regarded as an important patron of the arts. Most of the surviving paintings from this period are contained within a manuscript of the Kulliyat (collection) of the sultan's poetry, located in the Salar Jung Museum. This work is considered to be the sultan's own copy, owing to its rich illustration and illumination.
Abul Hasan Qutb Shah
Mark Zebrowski posits that painters from Bijapur emigrated to Golconda in the middle of the seventeenth century, as can be seen from the influence of the Bijapur school in paintings of this period.
