Abstract:

by M. Between the 9th and 6th centuries, its center was the Van Lake Pool and the surrounding Kingdom of Urartu, its centralized political authority, its cultural unity and material cultural wealth and its place in the Anatolian civilizations. The Urartu State, which has signed numerous innovations over the course of 300 years of history, has also presented original works in the field of art. Among these unique art products, it has a special place today with a variety of museums and special collections, wrapped in the state of bands, rich decorations and scenes. Over the bands war cars, horses, hunted people, animals, geometric and plant motives are decorated with wheat. These decorations and scenes, which offer diversity from fantastic creatures to naturalistic paintings, and the style and iconographic characteristics of the scenes enable a better understanding of Urartu painting art. In this study, the images of the people on the bands were addressed. The results of the investigations were identified in three different groups, including "military qualifications", "religious qualifications" and "hunting groups", which were divided into subgroups within themselves. Furthermore, through the paintings on the bands, the Urartu artist has sought answers to questions such as whether it is possible to do a style development related to the painting.
