Abstract: (65 Views)
The rarity of Shapur II’s accession to the throne during the embryonic stage (according to historical narratives), both in terms of its subject matter and the dedication of a folio in the Shahnameh of Shah Tahmasp to this episode-as well as its narration in Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh-attests to the significance of this event. The central research question is how the artistic context created by the painter, together with his artistic and personal characteristics in the formation of the work, can influence the manner of its depiction and manifestation-even when addressing an identical subject. The objectives of the present study include the examination and analysis of less-studied manuscript copies, alongside an investigation into the rich literary tradition underlying the miniatures, pictorial assemblies, and the history of ancient Iran. Furthermore, particular attention is given to the defining principles of Persian miniature painting, their close analysis and extraction-owing to the importance of this art as one of the traditional arts-and to a comparative study of the treatment of a single subject across three distinct schools of painting. The research methodology is descriptive-analytical. Accordingly, through describing the underlying structures and undertaking analytical inquiry, all details of the selected images-the geometry of motifs, their symbolic and aesthetic concepts-will be examined in consideration of the respective school, context, and the characteristics of the painter. Data collection has been conducted through library-based research.
