This research aims to study the scenes of lovers in Persian painting from the fourteenth to the end of the seventeenth centuries. The studied scenes classified into two types; the first include paintings with famous love stories in Persian literature, of these; Khusraw and Shirin, Layla and Majnun, Yusuf and Zulaykha, Bahram Gur and Azda. Those paintings were depicting the important episodes of the story. The second type includes paintings that were either accompanying lyrical poetry or independent. During the 17 th century such paintings were representing couples or lovers in postures reflecting intimacy and liberation. The research, therefore, aims to study the two paintings' types; to compare between them and explain their features. It also aims to clear the reasons that led to appearing and accept of daring scenes of lovers that reflect closeness, liberty and eroticism.
