Saqanfars are buildings related to the Qajar period, which originated from the indigenous and ritual architecture of Mazandaran. In contrast to other similar structures, pictorial themes centered on women are abundantly seen in the pictorial motifs of Saqanfar Kijatakiye wall paintings in Babylon. This research has been done with the aim of knowing the image themes and the reasons for the importance of the role of women. Research questions: 1- What is the reason for the abundance of women's motifs in the murals of Saqqanfar Kijatakiye Babylon compared to other Saqqanfar? 2- What are the reasons for the appearance of the role of women in Saqanfar Kijatakiye Babylon? 3- What themes have been observed in the murals of Saqanfar Kijatakiye, Babylon? The present research method is based on descriptive-analytical nature, and from each division of Saqanfar motifs in a non-random way (epic, otherworldly, symbolic and everyday activity), a specific image has been described with an iconological approach. The issue of redefining the role of women in society, family and the field of art peaked during the Qajar era. This shows the extensive developments and change of the position of women in the art of this period. On the other hand, the influence of the geographical region and the way of livelihood changed the concept of gender in the northern regions of Iran. Historical, social, political and cultural factors are important in the emergence of the main role of women. The simultaneity of the historical period of the Tekay building with the Qajar period, the fundamental changes in social relations, the style of clothing, the political position and the change in the aesthetic concepts of women and the multitude of images of women in the Qajar period indicate the direct connection of these motifs with the political-social developments that prevailed in It is the society of its time and it narrates the influence of native artists in reflecting the political and social conditions in a specific historical context.

Illustrating children's book covers plays a significant role as a medium in conveying cultural concepts to them. Images that reference specific cultural concepts of a community or a region can indirectly strengthen the cultural identity of children.
The present study aims to answer the question of how the cultural identity of girls and women is depicted in the cover illustrations of children's stories in Arabic-speaking countries. Therefore, with the goal of understanding cultural identity, especially Arab identity among Arab-speaking girls and women, the study has conducted a comprehensive statistical analysis. In this regard, 249 cover designs from six Arab countries including Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates were examined for the age group (B). The research method is analytical-comparative.
The results show that Arab girls' identity is expressed through Islamic adornments, while the identity of adult women is depicted through botanical decorations, historical symbols, and wearing the veil. the identity of elderly women is emphasized with a focus on the veil, which is one of the most prominent visual symbols. However, this symbol is less prominent in Lebanon and Syria.The results indicate that the UAE is the richest country in terms of cultural visual symbols, while Syria is the weakest in this regard. Arab girls' and women's faces are prominent in most images, and the palm tree, a symbol of natural geography, plays a significant role in Arab identity, especially in Iraqi publications. Decorations also play an important role in representing the Islamic identity of these Arab countries, but they have had a minimal impact on showcasing the local identity of each country. Older women on the cover illustrations are often veiled, and the veil is one of the most prominent visual symbols. However, in Lebanon and Syria, this symbol is less prominent across all age groups. It seems that a general conclusion can be drawn that the identity of Arab girls and women on the covers of children's books in Arabic-speaking countries in the present study is a blend of Arab and Islamic identity, with a particular emphasis on geographical and natural symbols.

The Long Story of the Snake and the Man (1976--78) is a work by Simin Daneshvar, based on mythical narratives, sacred texts and religious narratives. The theoretical basis of this paper in the study and study of the intertextual contribution of the narrations mentioned in the construction and payment of that literary work is Laurent Genie's theoretical definition of the concept of intertextuality in the article "Strategy of Forms", in which he proposes in the difference between his conception of intertextuality (known as soft intertextuality) and the intertextuality of Yulia Christova (known as hard intertextuality); The intertextuality should be mentioned when elements beyond the lexical unit of the proto text can be retrieved in the new text. In other words, the relationship between the texts is more than lexical and formal relationships; genetically related the intertextual relationship of two texts with each other not with the vague and mysterious sum of the effects of one on the other, but with the degree of interconnection between the two texts and how one influences the other, and emphasizes the two types of intertextuality "strong" and "weak". In his view, when two texts communicate in at least two formal and thematic aspects, "strong intertextuality" is established, and when texts stop communicating on one of these two levels, "weak intertextuality" is established. The present study is a qualitative study in terms of type.The research data is provided from library sources. Data analysis is done by descriptive-analytical method. The essay thus explains the Marr and the man text from the perspective of the reader's perspective with the relationship of the application of female personality and intertextuality. The intertextuality should be mentioned when elements beyond the lexical unit of the proto text can be retrieved in the new text. In other words, the relationship between the texts is more than lexical and formal relationships; genetically related the intertextual relationship of two texts with each other not with the vague and mysterious sum of the effects of one on the other, but with the degree of interconnection between the two texts and how one influences the other.

With the entry of man into civil life, the development of social and cultural activities and the formation of religious beliefs, the body, clothes and cultures were formed. The management of the body and its relationship with the social and cultural realms (sociology of the body) defines man as a corporeal agent. In other words, being in the world and human consciousness is determined by the body. Clothing is a symbolic arrangement and is influenced by social events that is placed on the body. With human socialization, his body is defined as a tool for social control and some bodily actions become important. Body management, in the sense of continuous monitoring and manipulation of appearance features, has a direct relationship with choosing the type of clothing. Question: What are the factors influencing the selection of women's social clothing, with Foucault's and Giddens' body management approach? The aim of the research is to know the factors of women's social dress selection for body display according to the body management approach. The research method is analytical, correlation and survey and information collection, library and field. The statistical population of 20 to 30-year-old Tehrani women and the sample number is 384 people, and the data was collected using a researcher-made questionnaire using a simple random method. The findings showed that body management is variable in social structures. Sometimes the choice of social clothing is to match the thinking of others in the society and as a tool of power; Sometimes it is to achieve positive acceptances and in line with social activities. Based on the results obtained from the two-by-two correlation coefficients between the dimensions of factors affecting the choice of social clothing from the perspective of Foucault and Giddens among the women of Tehran, a significant value was obtained in all cases less than 0.05. Therefore, the existence of a two-by-two correlation between the social factors affecting the choice of women's social clothing was confirmed with the five factors in the opinions of Foucault and Giddens.

In the second half of his rule, Shah Tahmasb Safavi took the path of extremism. In this regard, women, especially court women, stayed at home. Tahmasabi's Falnama (962-967 AH) was written in the same period and by his order. Ervin Panofsky (1892-1968) is one of the art history researchers who methodized iconology. He attributed three levels of meaning to the reading of the work of art, in which the researcher looks for the symbolic values of a society that the artist unconsciously reflects in his work. This research seeks to answer the question that according to Ervin Panofsky's opinion, what institutionalized belief about women is reflected in the painting of the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise in Tahmasbi's Falnama?
The aim of the research is to find the roots of Shah Tahmasib's beliefs about the position of women and its reflection in the painting of the expulsion of Adam and Eve from heaven in Tahmasbi's Falnama.
The research is conducted in a qualitative and comparative-analytical manner and its purpose is fundamental. The method of collecting materials has been done in a library style and with an iconological approach. A statistical example is the painting of the expulsion of Adam and Eve from heaven in Tahmasabi's Falnama. Conclusion: The image is influenced by the Qur'an, but there are elements in the image (Adam's reproachful state towards Eve, peacock, snake-dragon) that are not found in the Qur'an. So, the artist was inspired by other texts that were taken from ancient sources. It seems that the root of women's restrictions in this period can be seen as extreme beliefs that come from ancient metamorphoses such as the war between male and female gender
s, Eve's committing the first sin and blaming the female gender; Therefore, the painting is a document that reflects these beliefs about women in the patriarchal society of Shah Tahmasab's era.

The pictures of women in pictorial carpets were mostly woven in the form of mythological figures or images of European women in the Qajar era. Among these carpets influenced by both of discourses there is a carpet with a woven image in a seating position, which is preserved in the ‘Ahadzadeh Gallery’. This work is highly similar to the carpet of the queen of Armenia. It is also influenced by the ‘world carpet’ in which world is placed on the back of the cow-fish.Considering that this carpet is inspired by carpets with a mythological concept and picture of a woman, therefore, in this study the relationship between different texts is being addressed. The research also aims to review and study the connections between the England's ‘Queen carpet’ and the ‘world carpet’ with the carpet preserved in the ‘Ahadzadeh Gallery’; the study targets the following question 1. how the relationship between these carpets could be justified, considering the European and mythological concepts behind those two carpets? 2. What changes have occurred in the process of establishing these relationships? This study is performed based on a descriptive-comparative research method and analyzes outcomes according to the hyper-textuality concept of Genet. The findings of the research indicate that there are two kind of relationship between the existing texts of hypotext and hypertext, 1. Imitative or homotextuaity relationships and 2. Changed relationship. The relationship between the first and third text is kind of ‘hypertextuality’ and the relationship between the second and third text is kind of ‘intertextuality’. Also there is a transtextuality between the first and the third texts as there has been a change in both the style and the content of the text, as the new text does not only addresses one discourse, but also interpret a connection between the two discourses of Archo-Eropean, and the target carpet has acquired a new identity.

As a work of culture and art, cloth ought to be proportionate to the human body. A pattern that corresponds to the anatomical features of the inhabitants of a particular region can increase the output of regional apparel. In this discipline, patternmaking according to the body size of individuals is one of the most crucial parameters. However, sizing may not always be appropriate for all members of the community, as certain individuals' physiques do not conform to global standards. Significant advancements in online purchasing and women's apparel production have increased the significance of gathering precise data to determine appropriate sizes for individuals with varying anthropometric characteristics. Additionally, the absence of a measurement table for ready-to-wear garments is problematic. Size 38 of one brand may occasionally correspond to size 40 of another brand for identical textiles and apparel styles. Nevertheless, pattern-making techniques in numerous non-Western nations, such as Iran, primarily borrow from European and American approaches, oblivious to the variations in physical dimensions among these cultures. The objective of this research is to examine the variations in conventional clothing sizing methods and ascertain the degree to which anthropometric data acquisition contributes to the enhancement of a sizing method. The body dimensions of 1290 women, aged 20-44, were assessed using a random sample. These women were categorized into sizes 32 to 58. A comparison was made between the classified measurements and those of the Müller system. There existed a substantial disparity in several parameters between the limb measurements of Iranian women and those recorded in the Müller system. A set of new measurements was subsequently derived from anthropometric data pertaining to the physique of an average Iranian woman. Our results facilitate the development of a sizing system that is in accordance with the physique of an Iranian woman and provide direction for future researchers who wish to expand the sizing system. Furthermore, our research provides valuable insights to the global and domestic apparel industries. The fundamental inquiry lies in determining how to anticipate the intended outcome through the utilization of data pertaining to individuals with varying anthropometric characteristics. The primary objective of this research endeavor is to determine the degree to which the acquisition of anthropometric information from individuals can contribute to the enhancement of garment industry sizing procedures. This research is applied in that it was conducted through field research, library resource reviews, and the collection and analysis of measured data; thus, it is of a mixed quantitative and qualitative nature.

Roman Mythology holds an immortal and sacred place and is of great value artistically and historically as it personifies gods in the form of human bodies with supernatural powers. The mythical figures, such as gods and demigods, and epic and symbolic scenes are depicted within Roman murals in Syria. Providing an interpretation of morals and traditions, the given murals portray how the society's functional and inner values and religions are pursued. Women's clothing is manifested as a civilizational component in a significant section of Roman Syrian society. The research objective is to identify mythological themes in human patterns and reliefs and grasp their meaning by focusing on the details of women's clothing in five murals and comparing them with those of Syrian women's clothing during the Roman period as analyzed by Malinowski's need and institution components. In the general sense, the concept of functionalism implies a relationship established within an institution. What are the differences and similarities between the clothing in murals and among Syrian women of the Roman period under an emphasis on Malinowski's mythological elements from a functionalistic perspective? The results indicate that in addition to meeting clothing needs, the type of attire and practical colors in the murals and garments of Syrian women during the Roman period also address spiritual solidarity and cultural needs, such as ethicality, social beliefs, and orientation toward religion. There are common grounds between women's clothing in the murals and the garments of Roman Syrian women, and both entail aspects of providing protection, observing social manners, and denoting women's emotional and economic status. In Roman civilization, colors would bear sanctity and represent an individual's eminence. In the case of Syrian women of the Roman period, institutions were to meet women's needs and hold a positive role in society's survival as a whole. In addition to its role in resolving primary needs and taking recourses to meet derivative needs, Roman clothing is also displayed in the form of customs and traditions. The research method is comparative-historical analysis with documentary technique as the data collection method.

Genette's transtextuality is one of the important topics in reading and checking the relationships between texts, which has checked these relationships in its various forms and is divided into five main categories. This research, based on Genette's transtextuality, has studied one of the clothes in the Royal Clothing Museum. This dress is a Hypertexte, the Hypotexte of which is the needlework clothing of the women of Baluchistan region, hence a connection between these texts has been formed which can be investigated.This connection is important because Baloch needlework is one of these artistic and original stitches, which is used in the clothing of Baloch women and girls and for the purpose of decoration and grooming. Although Baloch needlework has an identity and originality in terms of motif and color, structure, sewing method and execution technique and materials used, as well as functionality that has kept it to this day, But in the Pahlavi period, especially in the 1950s, a modern and contemporary reading of this pure art was carried out, which appeared in the court and royal clothing of men and women of the Pahlavi family and their close relatives.soThe purpose of this research is to study and investigate how the needlework of this Pahlavi family dress is related to its Hypotexte in Baloch needlework and answers these questions. How is the relationship between this royal dress of the Pahlavi court and its Baloch needlework Hypotextes based on Genette's transtextuality explained? And what changes have taken place in the process of forming this relationship? This research was conducted in an analytical-comparative and descriptive manner, based on Genette's Hypertexyualité, and the data analysis in it is qualitative. This research showed that the relationship between two texts is Hypertexyualité and the Transformation from Hypotexte to Hypertexte was accompanied by changes in the Visual structure, environment, discourse, function, user, etc

Color is a silent but a powerful language. According to the high expressive quality of color in communicating and attracting people's attention, identifying the color preference of women and the factors affecting it can create an efficient tool in many areas of the modern world such as communication, trade and goods and content production. This article aims to identify the effects of the factor of openness to experience (as one of the dimensions of personality) on women's color preference changes. In order to collect research data, demographic questionnaire, color preference and five-factor personality test were used. The statistical sample includes 213 women living in Tehran who were randomly selected. Data analysis using the one-way variance method in relation to the level of color preference shows that women with different levels of openness to experience have different preferences in relation to the level of preference for purple, red and orange in such a way that as the level of openness to experience increases, preference score of red and orange increase and purple decrease. in this regard, data analysis in the selected color preference section shows that women with high levels of openness to experience choose red as their preferred color. The results of multivariate variance analysis in relation to the preference of warm, cool and neutral colors show that women with different levels of openness to experience have different preferences in relation to the preference of warm and neutral colors. The interpretation of the results in relation to hated color indicates that women who hate blue and white have a lower level of openness to experience. According to the graph, as the level of openness to experience increases, the average score for warm colors increases and for neutral colors decrease. The results of the present study confirmed the need to pay attention to the agency of openness to experience in predicting color preferences. The findings of the current research can be used in many practical fields such as psychology, marketing, communication, advertising and fashion design.

Human-bird hybrid motifs have broad and sometimes conflicting meanings in many parts of the world. In the Islamic era, despite the prohibition of human and animal motifs, this motif is still used in works such as rings of the Seljuk period with a female-bird nature. The Seljuks were one of the first Muslim governments in Iran to achieve cultural prosperity. The ring, which has a special prestige in Islamic culture, reflects the hidden cultural features of this period. The issue is what identity the bird-with-female-head motif in the rings reflects in the Seljuk Semiosphere. In this regard, Semiosphere theory is used in the analytical method of cultural semiotics. The main question is, what is the belief in the representation of the bird-with-female-head phenomenon in the intercultural communications of the Seljuk semiosphere? This article has been done by a descriptive-analytical method. Four samples of rings with bird-female motifs with intertextual symbols on pottery and metal objects of this period were adapted, and the concepts of accompanying motifs were read with it. The result was that the motif of bird-with-the-head-of-woman on the Seljuk semiosphere rings was drawn in two ways. The Seljuks semiosphere of Iran consists of three Iranian, Islamic and Turkish sphere within themselves. They have reached a semantic and morphological agreement through intra-cultural dialogue. Companion designs often refer to the concepts of goodness, blessing and fertility, which reinforce the femininity of this type of ring.

The process of imprisoning Safavid princes in the harem caused theSafavid king to gradually withdraw from serious political activity andincrease power in the harem. the king's mother with his wives and slaves formed a powerful alliance with each other. They could greatly influence the king and interfere in the administration of the country. In the time of Suleiman, this center became so powerful that it was called the main owner of the king. The style of painting in the time of Shah Suleiman was Farangi-sazi. The present article,Wants to study whether women and harems were represented in this style? Compositional interpretationMethodthat there were changes in the images of this period that did not exist before. Depicting architecture was very important.The composition of the painting proves that it is Suleiman who looks through the paintings, He looks at women and the harem.But in the process of watching, he hides women and considers only architectural structures.Women who were the agents of power in the politics of their time are not considered in painting.Things that have been affected in the paintings include "inner / inner space in architecture", which can be said to be a reference to the subject of the harem.In addition to this theme, many men are shown who are looking at the audience. This refers to the spread of the masculine look.And this is the look of king that is circulating on women in the harem.

Feminist campaigns have been a main force behind major historical and societal changes for women rights. Black Feminism is a school of thought stating that sexism, gender identity, racism and class oppressions are inextricably bound together. The way these concepts relate to each other is called intersectionality, a term coined by Crenshaw. Double minority refers to a person with two devalued identities. Feminist art tends to change the women’s image in art world positively, in hope to lead to equality. This research has attempted to analyzethe symbols and semiotic concepts in artworks and style of Lorna Simpson, a female artist who was born in 1960. The main purpose of this survey is to characterize her personal parole, as a narrator of double minority,in the langue of Feminist art and context of Black Feminism. The selected works of art belong to a four years period of her professional life (1988 - 1991), which coincides with the third wave Feminism. Re-examining photography as a conceptual medium, Simpson’s works remind us of historical ooppressions in the field of gender and race. Textual and visual codes are linked together in her works. Using young African American women as her instant photos’ models, Simpson creates tableaux that utilize repetition and pictorial framing to challenge prejudices and assumptions of gender and race, culturally and historically. Her figures are shown mostly from behind or in fragments, which draws attention to the historical depersonalization and sexualization of coloured women. By combining irritating words with faceless portraits, Simpson calls our attention to the unconscious ways in which people are classified based on physical and cultural attributes. She conveys political messages to destroy the fabricated stereotype of black women and rrestore their identity and position in contemporary society.

The dominant archimyth of the culture and the arts of each society formulate dialogues that direct cultural trends and artistic creation in that society. During the Qajar period, the arrival and promotion of Farang archimyth in Iran caused a significant development in the field of culture and art. One of the most frequent and influential manifestations of such a transformation in illustration, and especially in women illustration, was the "other" concept of this period. Therefore, this study chose the character of "Shirin", who is a personality with high-capacity for becoming "other" and "Farangi" in that period, studied the dialogue (Bakhtin) of the dominant archimyths on the art of Qajar period. This study sought to answer the question that, in a society influenced by different influences at one and the same time, how is the influence of the archimyths on the formation and evolution of a great mythical icon? For this purpose, the evaluation of the existing images from the scene of "Shirin’s bathing" by the method of intertextual and interdiscursive analysis has led to the conclusion that in the Qajar period between the three Farang (Western), Iranian and Islamic archimyths a dialogue has been established in which the Islamic archimyth has the role of mediator between the two other archimyths. It provided the basis for the dialogue, but eventually the time has passed and the dialogue has intensified and the Islamic archimyth has left it.

The purpose of the present study is to explain how a female designer uses visual elements and rules to produce meanings and messages in order to illuminate the creative aspects of women's existence. Clarifying the meaning and message of the poster relies on observing, describing, and interpreting visual qualities. To clarify the layers of meaning, we study it with the components of the semantic process in language theory of Julia Kristeva. The components of the theoretical framework of the research are symbolic, the semiotic, their exchange, and then intertextuality. The method is the analysis of qualitative content by hermeneutic approach. This shows that both the symbolic and the semiotic in this poster are in constant conflict and exchange. They direct the meaning process. Female and flower`s replacement, flower petals and mouths, flower pot, water and clouds and materials for cultivation, usage of text with a curved font on the pot, and double reference of the text in theoretical defense of female voice show the symbolic and the semiotic exchange. In addition to them, the study of intertextuality like the benefit of embroidery technique to lost women's creativity implies the ultimate meaning. It is that today, just as much as we need to revive feminine traditions such as embroidery, we should pay as much attention to the female voice in different reproductive aspects of their existence. Also writing on the pots show the emphasis on other creative aspects in woman`s existence. Therefore, the poster`s designer pays deep attention to female reproductive aspects of their existence.

The present article aims at criticizing and analyzing the "Subdued" (Rag-E Khab) film from psychology point of view. The film is Hamid Nematollah's fourth movie that deals with the story of a woman namely, Mina, who has recently divorced from her husband and is looking for a job and shelter for life that become friend with Kamran, the manager of a restaurant. It’s the beginning of a tumultuous journey for Mina. Finally, Mina achieves a great evolution in her life after overcoming many difficulties and leaving Kamran. The emphasis of the filmmaker on expressing the mental world and the psychic layers of the main female character of the movie made it possible to analyze the film from the opinion of Jeffre E. Young's schema theory. Based on the division of the film into two halves; first and second, one can analyze the changes of the main female character of the film and her relationship with the main male character from the perspective of Young's schema. The main question of the present research is which schemas can be identified in the main female character of the film. The information used in this paper has been gathered through library and research by descriptive-analytic methodology. The results of this study show that the film can be analyzed on the basis of two schemas of "abandonment" and "dependence" in the main female character that can be considered as one of the factors influencing the bitter problems and experiences of her life in the film. The first half of the film is devoted to the formation and intensification of these two schemas, and finally in the second half of the film, we are moving towards a change of schemas.

In the Safavid and Qajar dynasties, due to the relationship of Iran with the West, the desire of the court to experience the modern world and the desire of the Western world to recognize the East, shaped a kind of traditional and modern dichotomy in many social, cultural and artistic relationships of the society. This also influenced the status of women and their presence in the social arena. The portraiture in Iranian painting has been based on a pattern. What has been studied in this research is the woman's face in the paintings of these two periods. This article seeks to answer the following questions: How was the presentation of women's features in the designs of the Safavid period and Qajar era? What differences did they have in these two periods? The research method is descriptive-analytic and the information gathered by library method. The results show that women in the works of pre-Qajar paintings often have an exemplary and mythical position and, in terms of design, were unrealistic, and its visual value was like other elements of the painting, but in the late Safavid period and the Qajar period there has been a change in attitude towards painting due to the relationship with the West. As a result of attention to realism in drawing women's figures, as well as the formation of monotonous works, this led to a new image of woman in Iranian painting.

The purpose of this article is to study the representation of gender in the works of self-taught painters based on the social semiotic model of the image. Self-taught, non-trained artists, those lacked formal and academic education, began spontaneously to produce artistic works. Analysis of these works using the visual grammar of kress and Van Leeuwen in the reading of social semiotics helps to overcome the ambiguity of images as mere entertainment and to reveal the hidden ideology of the paintings. Hence, we selected 32 paintings by nine self-taught artists analyze the image of men and women representations in them. Research is descriptive-analytic and based on library and documentary studies. The results of the analysis indicate that the work of the self-taught painter of men and women reflects the gender division of social roles, with the difference that the female painter implicitly or publicly highlights herself as a nuclear element and introduces woman as the main actor. Therefore, the female painter is conscious of social gender bias trying to change it to their advantage. Women's painters with a realistic view of the works have an explicit look at the characteristics and realities of women and, on the other hand, have an equitable approach to the role of men and women, while the painter has a descriptive look and reproduces gender stereotypes.

One of the oldest myths among many cultures is the flood story. Since its inception, this myth has attracted the attention of artists in a variety of cultures. In most images related to the flood, a lady is among the passengers of the ark whose character and presence are in ambiguity. What is the identity of a lady sitting on Noah's Ark? The problem is that writers are trying to respond to library studies. Accordingly, we selected 29 images based on the artworks of the remaining artists from the Middle East, Ancient Egypt, Phoenicians, Christians and Muslims. We have analyzed these 29 images as statistical population through a comparative and analytical approach. The genealogy analyses of the archetype of the "Lady sitting on Noah's ark", in Islamic, Christian and prehistoric paintings show that the image from the Mesopotamia civilization is one of the oldest humanitarian archetype in the religious art and even the non-religious contemporary. Despite the religious semblance of this lady in the Muslim world, she has entered Islamic art as well. The influence and significance of this genealogy was to the extent that it entered the Shi'a world and, based on the statements from the Prophet (pbuh), the distinguished and divine character of Hazrat Fatima (sa), is shown in this template. Islam, as the last religion in the world, affirmed this myth and, with slight changes, introduced it as a major milestone in the religious history of mankind. Along with the written form and narrative of the myth, the traditional story developed from the mainstream illustration that came from Mesopotamia into Egypt, and from there into the Fynigans and Christians, and then into the Muslim world.

“Iconology” is one of the methods of artistic studies from the standpoint of phenomenology in which it has gained much attention in the 20th century. Focusing on ideas of Panofski,this article tries to compare the saint Mary's icon with the concept and content of Quranic verses comparatively. The main goal of this paper is to study and scan Mary’s image in the renaissance time and its decoding from the picture language of holy Quran in relation to saint Mary’s life iconologically. The present article tries to match saint Mary’s images’ iconological features with the symbolic portaiture of her Quranic features providing the possibility of content and subject review of saint Mary’s life story. The main point of this study is to convert the text into a picture and image,in which both Bible and holy Quran talked about her holiness and characters. In renaissance art this text is turned into an image, but in Islam the text has remained intact. This article tries to match the texts and images. The necessity of implementing new studies about the Mary’s pictures is highly needed as a way to recognize. The sample population includes 20 samples of renaissance paintings in random way. Among them, 8 samples of icons has been studied for visual analysis. The research findings demonstrate reflection of 3 kinds of saint virgin icons in 3 eras of renaissance in row. In the first renaissance era the icon of saint Mary had more match and correspondence with the holy Quran’s sacred in terms of form and content, in middle and advanced eras of renaissance icons they lost their holyness and abstractional synmbols have turned into some earthly and anthropocentric symbols.

In the early Qajar period, many travelers provided unbelievable information about women. The beauty of Iranian women is one of the points that European tourists have come to appreciate. We can also see the reflection of this beauty in the paintings of this period. But the point that attracts attention is the remarkable difference between the women's survivors of the Qajar period with travel writings and paintings of this period. What has been studied in this research is to validate the accuracy of the Qajar women's background based on archaeological evidence. The collection of materials in this library research is written in a historical-analytical way. Accordingly, the questions of this paper are as follows: How is the apparent image of women in paintings of Qajar period to compare with other archaeological evidence? Is there any difference in the apparent appearance of the women left behind the archaeological evidence of the Qajar era, what factors has caused this difference? The results of the surveys show that we are seeing some kind of difference between the concepts of the pictures left and those of the paintings in this period. In the Qajar period, the painters have tended to face the idealism and lack of simulation. Therefore, it can be said that women in the paintings of this period are instrumental in expressing the glory of power and monarchy.

Change of women’s clothing during the Qajar era, has given a reason to many experts and researchers to consider the issue in their writings, even so short. Given that not much research has been performed on how and why the clothing style changed during Qajar era as well as its relationship with fashion’s evolution, a deeper and more detailed research seems to be necessary in order to identify the reason for change of women’s costume. The current comparative study aims to evaluate the similarities and differences of women’s costume in Fath-ali-Shah and Naser-al-Din Shah’s court, focusing on fashion and comparing indoor/outer garment components. Indoor garment components included Shaliteh (Breeches), shirts, Arkhalig and headwear, and outer garments included Chador, Chaghchoor and Burqa. Considering that some factors, such as religious views, politics, economy as well as psychological aspects of the kings have direct impact on fashion and its changes, this study using a qualitative approach and descriptive-analytical methodology and emphasizing on two Qajar dynasties, aims to evaluate available pictures collected from this era and study the documents and logbooks which are about costume classifications and frequently used fashion in Qajar’s court, in order to identify and introduce those elements which have influence on evolution or stability of clothing style in this era. Finally, this study has shown that women’s religious view was an important forbidding factor against drastic changes in clothing style and fashion. In other words, women had not a passive role in choosing their clothes. It was also found that kings’ will and views were two significant factors impacting women’s fashion and clothing styles in the kings’ court.

There is always a spiritual and intellectual power in primeval art which connects our world with supernatural world. The foundation-stone is agricultural lifestyle and farming archetypes in Iran ancient civilization; so, enrichment subject-matter or enhancement idea is a fair question for ancient culture. The generative idea plays a vital role that is connected with goddesses. These forms, shapes and metaphysical functions of goddesses are composed of natural elements like: The Zodiac (Stars), plants, animals or music instruments. The Iranian goddess named Anahita/ Nahid, is the symbol of generative idea and the kingdom of Seas. People regarded goddess of the waters/Nahid as very respectable and many Temples are built for her by people. They gave gifts to her temples. Gifts were the valuable works of art having some pictures of Nahid on them. These images showed her supernatural tasks inspired by religious texts and books. So we have reviewed religious literatures of Iranian Ancient centuries. If we pay attention to these ancient texts, we do not make mistakes in our interpretation from Nahid's image. Research method of the current study is based on library and documentation from works of art using comparative study of art. The author tried to find points of similarity between Anahita and other goddesses in matriarchal and ancient civilization, and illustrate and analyze the roots of their shapes for finding common denominator. We can see their pictures and mutual effects in art.
