The long-standing relationship between art and politics in past societies has made studying the lineage of art one of the most efficient approaches to understanding the nature and development of the offending arts. In Iranian society, this relationship has also been surprisingly effective in the ups and downs of artistic conditions. In studying the lineage of art in Iran, the Qajar period is undoubtedly one of the most important historical periods in terms of changes and developments in the conditions and quality of various arts. After a grueling struggle with the Zand dynasty, the Qajars finally succeeded in forming a government in 1210 AH. This government, which arose from tribal lineage, faced two problems during its period: increasing foreign relations and managing the religious atmosphere of society, which also affected the nature of the art of this period. The Qajars, relying on the valuable artistic heritage that had been left from the past, honored many of the previous traditional arts and tried to promote them. Therefore, the political context and atmosphere of the Qajar period were effective in the painting of this period in terms of content, structure and decorations, and architecture also had a glimpse of the achievements of Western architecture while maintaining traditional structures. In an art such as carpet weaving, changes were made in terms of color and material in accordance with the changes in foreign needs and demands, and an art such as calligraphy also continued with a relative change in terms of content during this period.
