Abstract
Abstract: The personality of Uzun Hasan, the ruler of the Aggoyunlu dynasty, one of the important figures in the history of the medieval East, occupies a special place in the history of art. His direct role in the cultural revival of Tabriz, patronage of science and art created a fertile environment for the development of the art of miniatures, monumental painting and architecture. Well-known studies connect the development of the pictorial image of Uzun Hasan with the context of the historical genre of the 15th century and its recording in palace wall paintings and miniatures. The paper analyzes the image of Uzun Hasan in the tradition of Western painting, and attributes a misidentified engraving from “Icones virorum illustrium doctrina et eruditione praestantium ad. vivum effictae cum eorum" (1597). Here, appeals to the image of recent years are considered, the iconographic series associated with the visual image of Uzun Hasan, the battle of Otlugbeli, Sara-Khatun, Despina-Khatun, the Trebizond princess are analyzed.
