پرونده:Reception at the Court of Shah 'Abbas I Safavid.jpg

English: This painting shows courtiers of Shah 'Abbas I (r. 1588–1629 CE), one of the great kings of the Persian Safavid dynasty (1501–1732 CE). In 1598, Shah 'Abbas moved the capital from Qazvin to Isfahan, where there was a strong relationship between the city and the extensive royal gardens. Isfahan, and even its surrounding suburbs, were developed as a great garden on an urban scale. The Persian garden was the result of a sophisticated irrigation system that created the city oases of Iran and central Asia.
