This article, which is a descriptive and analytical research and its qualitative data has been collected through the research method of libraries, has been organized with the aim of studying the stylistic developments of Iranian art after the Mongol invasion and while trying to review the book “Seven Decorative Principles of Iranian Art” written by Yaghoub Azhand and to answer the basic question why in Qazvin school of Safavid period, these themes are mentioned as seven principles of Iranian art? It seems that the drawing of these motifs to the position of the "Seven Principles" was done in line with the policies of Shah Tahmaseb and with the aim of limiting the power of the Ghezelbas. The findings show that in order to achieve this goal, first the royal workshop and library of Tabriz were dissolved as an influential centers and promoters of Ghezelbashi thought, and in the next step, the visual elements of Iranian painting were regulated in two main and sub-areas. Placing elements such as mobility, coloring, and composition in the field of Iranian painting subdivisions meant reducing the importance of the principles governing the Ghezelbashi method, and in contrast emphasizing the arrangement under the heading of the "Seven Principles of Iranian Art" while setting the policy. The nascent Qazvin school in a different direction from Tabriz II school, gave it special credit.

Different approaches were taken by scholars in the field of Islamic art studies, each placing their reliance on different concepts. In the meanwhile, historicism is based on two elements of embeddedness and interpretation. In this approach, the center of gravity of studies corresponds to understanding the cultural concepts of objects and the architectural works in the specific time and place embed of producing these works, hence the factors, roots, and embeds of the realization of Islamic art is historically studied and its meaning is investigated as interpretation . Some critics' misinterpretations about the historical approach to Islamic art studies led to the concept and semantic confusion in this approach, therefore, the present study mainly concerns about providing a clear definition of the concept of historicism and its methodology through introducing and criticizing one of the most prominent works written by this approach. The Book of "The Ilkhanid Shrine Complex at Natanz, Iran", written by Sheila Blair is a striking example of the historicism approach that is of particular importance in terms of the methodological understanding of such studies.
