Abstract


Summary: Stories of love and affection had an important place in the production of the Muslim artist in the various schools of Islamic illustration, whether the Arab, Iranian, Ottoman or Indian schools. The artists of these schools were keen to include in their manuscripts, especially the literary and historical ones, miniatures that express this important narrative topic, which is the subject of Lovers and lovers, and among the most famous of these stories are the stories of Laila and Majnun, Bahram Gur and the Seven Princesses, Khosrow and Shirin, and other stories of love and adoration. In our research, we will focus the discussion on the love story of Bulbul and Rose, which was mentioned in one of the manuscripts of the Ottoman school of painting.
