Abstract

Iconography in Islamic painting has a long lived history engaging many schools and existing in various historical periods. In this regard, artists have chosen different methods of illustrating the faces of the holy family and PIOUS MEN and this represents a rather akin manner similar to SYMBOLISM that is used both in earlier and contemporary works. Having a symbolic perspective towards iconography can be seen from two aspects. Firstly, in most cases, the relationship between the spectator and the subject or content is related to the icons rather than enduring a spiritual bond with them. Secondly, in delivering such works of art, the symbolic iconographies permit the artist to engage the attention of the spectator to the religious and divine values of the holy family and the pious. Nonetheless, it should be mentioned, that iconography in this field has its own limitations and faults, however, with a vigilant evaluation, the illustrative elements appropriate in regard to the dignity and place of such holy characters can be designated and applied.Research Questions:1- What are the reasons for iconographies to become symbolic in painting?2- What are the visual and conceptual features of religious iconography?Aims of the research:1- Becoming familiar with the characteristics of symbolic iconography of holy men from a figurative perspective.2- Introducing the evolution Persian painting.
