چکیده:
This article is a study of the perspective of Iranian Muslim painters before the Safavid era on the subject of "the image of women" with a religious approach and based on verses and Islamic traditions. This article seeks to understand how the distinctive visual reflections of the desired characteristics of women from an Islamic perspective have been reflected in the authentic masterpieces of painting. Assuming that this reflection is based on the verses of the Holy Quran and traditions that were also a source of inspiration for prominent painters of that era, the theoretical literature of this article is drawn from the aforementioned religious texts, and the selected images are analyzed based on the same approach. The analysis of these works shows that the image of women in the authentic masterpieces of painting and the works of famous masters, before being caught by the consequences of the influence of Western art, represents a position and status of women's existence that was in accordance with Quranic and religious teachings. Based on this, Muslim painters were able to portray them in covering and modesty while depicting divine beauty and grace in the image of women, and to protect their sanctity even in the most private interactions. The investigation of how the creative depiction of women is reproduced, based on the authentic works of painting art, which can help some of the complexities of this issue in the field of visual and media productions of Iranian society today, can be considered the innovative aspect of this article.

Religious Approach of Authentic Iranian Painting to the Depiction of Women 1 Seyyede Razieh Yasini Abstract This article is a research on the view of Muslim painters of Iran before the Safavid era on the subject of “the depiction of women” with a religious approach and based on verses and narrations of Islam.
Based on this, Muslim painters in their works were able to depict beauty and divine grace in the image of women while portraying them in modesty and concealment, and protecting their sanctity in painting, even in the most private interactions.
Among all the images represented in the paintings, examining how humans, and especially women, are depicted can reveal the extent to which Muslim artists in Iran adhered to human dignity based on religious texts.
Due to the true status and position of women in Islamic thought, Iranian Muslim thinkers and writers considered her existence, which is the manifestation of divine beauty specifically in this world, as a metaphor for flirting with the one beloved and, figuratively, as a symbol of the grace and purity of the worshipped.
Muslim painters did not only focus on depicting mere tenderness and beauty in the existence of women, but also combined these aspects with other spiritual and outward qualities such as modesty and dignity, and presented an image of a perfect human being who is praised by human nature.
