Abstract

Deeper than any other trend, painting can establish the closest link between the mental and objective world. Paying attention to Iranian painting as a source of architectural history does not have a long history, but such researches on Western painting have been done many times and the influence of architectural art on painting is very evident. Sultan Mohammad Tabrizi is one of the famous painters of the second Tabriz school in the historical era of Agh Quyunlu and Safavid, who has many wonderful works in the art of that era. The purpose of this research is to represent architectural elements in the paintings of Tabriz II School of Tabriz and in the works of Sultan Mohammad. The research method of this research is analytical-descriptive and the collection method is documentary and library. First, using content analysis, the basics and basic concepts were investigated, and finally, the architectural artifacts found in the three paintings of Sultan Mohammad were investigated. The findings indicated the presence of six repeated elements in the works, which are mainly an important part of the 10 basic elements of architecture in the paintings of the second school of Tabriz. The results show the presence of building elements, details and plants in all the works, and in future studies, the elements can be formally examined and compared with other painters' works.
