Friedrich Sarre is considered as one of the founders of Islamic art history and archaeology . He traveled extensively in Iran and neighboring countries during the late Qajar period, and these expeditions became the basis for his research on the history of Persian and Islamic art and architecture. During these travels, as well as in European antiquities, he collected a large collection of artworks from Iran, the Islamic world, and other civilizations. Unlike other nineteenth-century archaeologists who worked on pre-Islamic sites in West Asia, he was the first to implement the idea of scientific excavation in an Islamic region, namely Samarra. This article, by introducing Sarre’s most important research works, seeks to study his role in the formation of Persian art history and analyzes his methodology in this field. His studies on pre-Islamic Persian art focus more on the Parthians and Sasanians because he believed that the characteristics of the art of these periods continued in Islamic art. He also applied the same approach to the arrangement of works in the Museum für Islamische Kunst, where works from these periods are still kept in the Islamic section. His earliest writings had a geographical approach, in which, in addition to preparing route maps, he documented significant buildings through photography, drawing and plans. The importance of his books lies not only in the fact that at that time, there was no book summarizing the art of these periods, but also in the fact that he used photographs that he himself had taken of ancient sites and also published numerous works of art from his own collection. In most of his works, including Denkmäler persischer Baukunst, the concept of the superior position of Persian culture within the framework of Islamic art is seen, which is rooted in nineteenth-century racial theories.
