AB  - Flower and bird painting is a form of Iranian art who se registration has been put off for so long. This
type of painting includes two simple elements which could be found all over the world, namely flowers and bird.
To develop this form of paintings, Iranian artists have been inspired by Chinese paintings. Flower and Bird
painting reached its pinnacle in Safavid era, a period that is contemporary with botanical paintings in Europe.
However, botanical paintings were more assumed as a scientific depiction rather than a form of art. European
painters aimed to draw the plants precisely as they were. Iranian background in literature signifies that this form
of art belongs to Iran as well, however, negligence of Iranian officials led to a point where demonstration
of this belonging took a lot of effort and pain. In this study, the social situation of the 12 and 13th centuries
(Hijri calendar) as well as the impact of the Western art on Iranian paintings will be the point of focus. It seems
that the form and content European mode of painting and Modernism had a major influence on Iranian painting
in 11 and 13th centuries, yet with respect flower and bird painting, this influence has been form-related.
