Abstract: (905 Views)
The mosque is one of the important socio-cultural symbols in the Islamic Iran. One of the important mosques is Vakil mosques, where different designs have been used in the decoration of Haft Rang (seven-colored) tiles. The purpose is to investigate the impact of changes in socio-cultural perspectives of governments on the design of Haft Rang tile. What effect the socio-cultural perspective has had on the design of mosque designs and what is the nature of design changes in the Haft Rang tiles in these mosques? The research method is descriptive-analytical. The results show that the patterns in the seven-colored tile during the Zand period are influenced by the Zandi Ethnic-Illyrian view and are associated with simplicity and beauty. These patterns are drawn in an abstract way and have less variety in terms of design and color. In contrast, the designs in the Qajar period are influenced by the westernize perspective and are very colorful and rich, reflecting nature realistically. Repairs made in the Qajar period introduced this type of design and color to the Vakil Mosque, causing changes in the structure of Haft Rang tile designs. Therefore, it can be said that the difference in socio-cultural attitudes in different eras will have an important impact on changing artistic perspective.
