City (pop., 1996: 1,191,043), northwestern Iran. Earthquakes and invasions by Arabs, Turks, and Mongols have damaged the city numerous times. The Turkic ruler Timur conquered it in 1392. During the next 200 years control passed several times between afavid Iran and the Ottoman Empire. During the 18th-19th centuries it passed between the Ottomans and the Russian Empire, and the same powers fought over it in World War I (1914-18). In the 1850s a schismatic Shite religious leader known as the Bb ("Gateway") and 40,000 of his followers were executed there. It was damaged during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-90). Notable ancient sites include the 15th-century Blue Mosque, renowned for the splendour of its blue tile decoration, and the remains of the 12-sided tomb of Mongol leader Mahmd Ghzn

Tabriz school
School of miniaturist painting founded by the Mongol Il-Khans early in the 14th century. Reflecting the penetration of East Asian traditions into Islamic painting, early Tabriz works were characterized by light, feathery brush strokes, gentle colouring, and an attempt to create the illusion of spatiality. The school reached its peak just as the Il-Khans were being conquered by the Islamic Timurids (1370-1506). It continued to be active in this period, though it was overshadowed by the workshops in Shiraz and Herat
