The Impact of the Physical Elements of Persian Garden on the Persian Painting: A Selection of Tabriz’s Second School Paintings as the Case Study

In Persian painting, as an abstract art, the use of garden has been as the way architects have used in designing the garden. However, the painter breaks different parts of the garden, so the viewer may move on the image. In this regard, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of Persian garden’s natural and man-made physical elements on painting art. For this purpose, a selection of Tabriz’s second school paintings, especially the paintings of “Khamseh Tahmasbi” and “Shahnameh Tahmasbi”, were analyzed accurately. This is an analytical-descriptive study; the library studies were used for collecting the data. The results showed that as far as form is concerned, these paintings picture all the natural and artificial physical elements of Persian Garden exactly like its architectural expression.
