Deskripsi

The narration of flowers and chickens could be analyzed by the Panofsky iconology method. But here we are dealing with a motif that clearly does not deal with a particular story or event. Therefore, the content analysis of the work in this step must be done in a methodical and systematic way. In this article, a method of using the method of Gilbert's mythology of the time is considered by the author. The essence of Islamic art and consequently Islamic-Iranian painting, of which flowers and chickens are a small part. It is derived from the worldview and ideology of Islam and the source of its artistic creativity has a pre-textual system of representation. And its roots can be found in the archetypes, myths and mystical-romantic literature of Iran. In repeated encounters, the bird and the tree establish a cycle that continually creates and exalts. Behind every encounter with birds and trees lies a force or force that leads to a new creation. So, the archetype of the bird and the tree is the "new creation".
