New Insights on Examples of Safavid and Ottoman Paintings in the Light of Historical and Political Contexts

Document Type : Original Article

Abstract

Abstract:
The aim of this research paper is to shed light on a few examples of Safavid and Ottoman paintings in the light of their historical and political contexts. The study relies on three main approaches: the historical approach, to narrate and trace events; the descriptive approach, to describe the illustrations; and the inductive approach, to note discrepancies between what was depicted and what is historically established.
 The problem of the study is that some Safavid and Ottoman paintings contain errors or inaccurate representations of facts and people. This raises questions about the causes of these errors and how they relate to the historical and political contexts contemporary to the time the manuscripts were decorated.
This research paper seeks to accurately identify the individuals represented in the paintings, understand the reasons behind the selection of specific subjects for depiction in the manuscripts, assess the extent to which the paintings correspond to historical facts, and determine the reasons for the errors present in them, whether they occurred as a result of an oversight by the painter or were intentional. It also seeks to interpret their significance in light of the historical and political events of the period in which this group of paintings was produced.
 The study revealed that the errors in the paintings may have resulted from several factors, including the circulation of incorrect information among researchers, an oversight by the painter due to a lack of knowledge or limited resources, or deliberate political motives. Paintings were used as propaganda tools to highlight the state's prestige and confirm the legitimacy of the ruler or to belittle and humiliate opponents.
