Tabriz school of miniature played the leading role in the development of miniature paintings not only in such Azerbaijan towns as Tabriz. Baku, Shamakhy, but in Iran, Turkey, the Middle Asia, Afganistan and Mogol school of miniature painting in India.

XIX c. was a period of the growth of the realistic tendencies in fine art of Azerbaijan. In paintings and drawing of that period organically combine realistic features and miniature's influence. These new tendencies reflected especially bright in the creation of such artists of the XIX c. as Mirza Kagym, Mir Movsum Navvab, Abbas Husseyni. These peculiarities were developed later in the creation of the artists of the early XXth ?. Kengherii ?., Azimzade A.Splendid pile and pileless, thematical and ornamental carpets and carpet wares are indispensable part of our Azerbaijan section, because carpet-making is one of the most ancient and the most widely spread kind of Azerbaijan decorative and applied art.

As the written sources say, carpet-making art was already high developed in Azerbaijan in the Middle Age and that's why carpet were exported to the different countries of the world in the XV c.
Many famous painters of the world used in their works an Azerbaijan carpet as a decorative element. In this way a Dutch painter Gans Memling (1433-1494) used in his picture "Maria with a baby" Mugan carpet, Shirvan group of carpets, Azerbaijan. The image of the Gyanja-Kazakg carpet may be seen in the picture of the famous German painter of Renaissance G.Golbein "Ambassadors".
From technological point of view all carpets are derived into pile and pileless. Pileless carpets (Palas, Jedjim, Kilim, Shedde, Verni, Zili and Sumakh) are much older than pile carpets and are noted for their original designs and bright colours.
Pile carpets are especially valuable. Pile carpets may be thematical ("The Seasons", "Dervish", "Ovchulug", and so on.) and ornamental ("Alichanly", "Piryabedil", "Surakhany", "Golluchichi", "Gymyl", "Shamachy" and others). The names of the carpets are mainly associated with the places they come from.
