Background

change

After the Battle of Chaldiran, the Ottomans occupied Tabriz on September 7. They first looted the city, and then ransacked it.[1] The Friday sermon of that week was read in the name of Selim in mosques of the city.[2]Selim could not continue his attacks after Tabriz due to the displeasure of the janissaries. [3] An important result of the occupation was the forced relocation of hundreds of skilled workers in the field of metalworking to Istanbul. This, along with the development of metalworking in the Ottoman Empire, affected the artistic creativity of the Safavids and ended the superiority of Tabriz as a cultural center.[4]
