Abstract

The attitude of the poets has a great role in making classical poetry a strong tradition. They never compromised the rules set for them. In addition, they have processed the presented material just as an artist creates unique visuals with limited colors in his hand. They have always tried to improve their artistic aspects, and they have never stopped thinking and researching about this issue. In this respect, they have always maintained their relations with other branches of art. Especially since poetry and painting have a lot in common, they both interacted. Bihzâd, one of the personalities whose name is frequently mentioned in many divans, is an example of this attitude. Bihzâd is the common name of two different artists who both exist in Iranian mythology and grew up next to the Khorasan Ruler, Hüseyin Baykara. However, what is meant more in classical poetry is Bihzâd, one of Hüseyin Baykara's bridesmaids. The main purpose of the poets to mention their names is to compare their descriptive abilities and artistic personalities with him. This allows us to have an idea about the artistic understanding of poets and classical poetry within the framework of his personality. The study was prepared on the basis of this. For this, first of all, couplets in which the name of Bihzâd is mentioned in the divans were determined. As a result, based on what the poets mentioned about Bihzâd, their understanding of art was determined in terms of items. Thus, the place of Bihzâd character in the classical poetry has been tried to be revealed.
