Abstract

Ali Qapu Palace as an imperial palace in Isfahan had been originally designed as a vast portal entrance to the grand palace which stretched from the Naqsh-e Jahan Square to the Chahar Baq Boulevard. The palace served as the official residence of Persian Emperors of the Safavid dynasty. The palace is forty-eight meters high and there are six floors. Ali Qapu is regarded as the best example of Safavid architecture and a symbol of Iran’ s Islamic heritage. Ali Qapu is rich in naturalistic wall paintings by Reza Abbasi, the court painter of Shah Abbas I, and his pupils. There are floral, animal, and bird motifs in his works. The highly ornamented doors and windows of the palace have almost all been pillaged at times of social anarchy. The purpose of this study is to investigate the evolution and changes of executing the Islamic motifs in the Ali Qapu Palace. The main questions are: 1-What is the differences and similarities between the techniques of executing the Islamic motifs in the different floors of this building? 2-What are the methods of artistic performance in different floors of Qapu Palace? For this purpose, the data of the research were collected by field studies through which all Islamic motifs were photographed. In addition, some data were gathered through library studies, and then the data were analyzed by descriptive-comparative method. The results of the research show that the executive methods in the second, third and sixth floors of Ali Qapu Palace were implemented by using the mixed works of painting and stucco, while in the other floors only painting was performed. It was also found that the first and second floors, which were accessible for the civic society and were in connection with the market, their designs and execution methods were simpler and less diverse. But in the third and sixth floors, due to the royal functions, designs were more complex and the varieties of execution methods have been implemented.
