With the separation of art criticism and art history from each other, art criticism has grown in the contemporary era under the shadow of approaches in different paradigms and has been linked to theories and methods in the humanities. The absence of a theoretical system in art criticism emphasizes the necessity of the demand for utilizing approaches in native philosophical sources. Sadra's philosophical books, which explain the beginning and completion of the soul in the movement of the essence of essence in the four journeys under a research model, are considered the link between the rational method and mystical conduct in Sadra's epistemology and are the suitable example to meet this need. The present research will answer the question of how to achieve an externally oriented evaluative criticism model with regard to Sadra's opinions in the Four Journeys? The present qualitative research has been carried out using a descriptive-analytical method and using library resources. The painting criticism model (external evaluation) based on Sadra's research model, in the first stage (public affairs) describes the general nature, inherent and accidental, as well as the causes of imperfection, and in the second stage, in accordance with the second journey (natural science), it deals with the categories of quantity, quality, position, this, that, property, active, and passive in the painting work. In the third stage, it analyzes the achievements of the previous stages and acquires knowledge and creates and composes the nature in a way of an outward uprising by obtaining a "unifying hypothesis" and discovering the "goal" in the work. In the fourth stage, it deals with evaluating the work in relation to the unifying hypothesis and the goal. Everything that has value in the work is revealed, and in this way, the audience's perceived value will be equal to or close to the achieved value of the work.
