The semiotics of the old tree's motif in the image of Alexander's Nose and his relief in Haft Awrang Jami

Iranian painters have always depicted the imaginary world in drawing and used imagination and trees are the most common element of nature in most images. the existence of old gnarled trees is one of the main features of the Mashhad schools, its prominent example is visible in Haft Awrang Jami. The Haft Awrang Jami version is the school's most important achievement and it is among the latest masterpieces of Iranian royal painting. In seventeen of the twenty-eight pictures we see of old trees. the last image of this collection is the Alexander's nose and his relief, which illustrate the story of Alexander's death. There is a huge, old tree whose branches are burning. to explore concepts and meanings of this tree, is used of the semiotics science in the process of this research. Bearing in mind that Iranian painting has a deep connection with literature and in the Haft Awrang Jami version, the relationship between the Jamaican characters and the fictional literature is hair-to-hair and in detail and the narrative images are clearly interpretations of the literal expression of the text in question, in fact derived from the mystical and ethical themes of Jami's poetry. so there must be a special connection between this character tree and the storyteller. the main question now is that the old tree's motif in the desired image What symbolic implications outside of its referential way implies? In this research, it is tried to think of the science of semiotics from the theory of Kress& Van Leeuwenin in his book with the name of reading images and Hammidreza shaeeri in a book as a sign-Visual semantics, in order to analyze text and image to the implicit concepts of ancient tree in the image Mentioned. The research method is descriptive, analytical and visual semiotics. The method of collecting information is a library. on the basis of the semiotics studies, the results show that the existence of a tree in this image is not just a visual cue to illustrate the nature & it has a completely symbolic aspect. By analyzing the semiotics in the structure of this picture and examining factors such as narrative processes, symbolic processes, and compositions, it can be concluded that the high tree is a sign created in a structure with the intention of representing the narrative. The tree symbol, with its symbolic features, has become a symbol in the image. A symbol of the power, ambition, life, sickness, and human immortality that made these qualities come alive. The tree that once was the source of blessings is being destroyed by social events. Sheikh Mohammed, influenced by these events and the turmoil that dominates society, and according to the storyteller who speaks of a tree that is originally a symbol of Alexander and is being destroyed by Alexander's death, it may have depicted Ibrahim Mirza in Alexander the Great, and Alexander's troops and mourners could be a metaphor for the people and artists who found themselves in disarray after the overthrow of Ibrahim Mirza.
