Produktbeschreibung
This beautiful book allows the reader to appreciate the complexities and subtleties of Ottoman art and architecture as a whole, while simultaneously learning more about the history of Istanbul, one of the world's most magnificent cities. Bridging the gap between the specialist scholar and the educated general reader, the book looks at the history of the city, from the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottomans in 1453 up to the beginning of the 20th century, when the Ottoman Empire was finally dismantled following the World War I. This historical background appears alongside descriptions and illustrations of Ottoman architecture, regalia, textiles, books, ceramics, calligraphy, and painting. With its meaning expressed through non-figurative form rather than through the symbol systems and narrative of Western art, the book presents the exhilarating alternative of Ottoman art.
