Abstract

Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh and, in particular, “Baisonghor Shahnameh,” has a special place among the Persian illustrated books. Emergence of the Timurid Herat School in the brilliant era of Islamic art has required it to follow original values of such period. Present paper has selected the image of “Arjasb being killed in Roeen castle by Esfandiar” and the author has studied and analyzed mentioned mage based on aesthetics analysis method and comparison with principals of Islamic Art philosophy, authors have also studied structural differences between the mentioned image and other images of Baisonghor Shahnameh, based on a descriptive- analytical research method and using library and document studies to gather data. Finally the results indicate that in terms of status and nature of mentioned image, it contains an ascending movement and a perfectionist motion conforming to the principles of Islamic Art Wisdom. Furthermore, it has gained the principle of unity in diversity in the plurality of components regarding the creation of a visual unity. The movement and kinetics inherent in this image has led to asymmetry and simultaneous display of multiple space together and, in such manner, is different from the other contemporary images and been, somehow, the founder of Behzad and Tabriz Safavi Schools.
