This research studies the concept of love from Sheikh Ishragh’s perspective in Attar of Nishapur’s Mantiq Al-Tair paintings by Kamal Adin Behzad.The concept of love from Suhrawardi’s perspective as a love theory is a unique concept which is different from the mystical and aesthetic approaches to love due to its wisdom-centrism.In present study,4 paintings are analyzed using descriptive-qualitative approach.The main goal of this research is to discover and analyze the elements reflecting the Sheikh Ishragh’s love perspective as well as finding the answers to the following questions: based on the centrality of wisdom in Suhrawardi’s theory of love, which of the Behzad’s paintings elements in Attar of Nishapur’s Mantiq Al-Tair paintings can be analyzed on the basis of this theory?The results of the analysis imply that the association of concept of love from Suhrawardi’s perspective and reflection of love in Behzad’s paintings elaborates on the wisdom centrality of Sheikh Ishragh’s theory. The reflection of love from Suhrawardi’s perspective in Attar of Nishapur’s Mantiq Al-Tair paintings was studied in details.Using the contrasting visual elements and compositions, in these paintings to show the contrast of wisdom and ignorance is used as the main themes of Suhrawardi’s love. Each of these themes are accompanied with a theme of suffrage and sorrow whose origin is self-knowledge towards the destination of theism. Finally, this can be implied from the analyses that using all these symbols and signs were consciously and were used very carefully by painter which are compatible with concepts Suhrawardi and Attar reflected.

Keywords: love, intellect, Suhrawardi, Al-Tair region, Kamal Adin Behzad.
