Book Making Modernity in the Islamic Mediterranean

Download or read book Making Modernity in the Islamic Mediterranean written by Margaret S. Graves and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Islamic world's artistic traditions experienced profound transformation in the 19th century as rapidly developing technologies and globalizing markets ushered in drastic changes in technique, style, and content. Despite the importance and ingenuity of these developments, the 19th century remains a gap in the history of Islamic art. To fill this opening in art historical scholarship, Making Modernity in the Islamic Mediterranean charts transformations in image-making, architecture, and craft production in the Islamic world from Fez to Istanbul. Contributors focus on the shifting methods of production, reproduction, circulation, and exchange artists faced as they worked in fields such as photography, weaving, design, metalwork, ceramics, and even transportation. Covering a range of media and a wide geographical spread, Making Modernity in the Islamic Mediterranean reveals how 19th-century artists in the Middle East and North Africa reckoned with new tools, materials, and tastes from local perspectives.

Book  The Turk and Islam in the Western Eye  1450 750

Download or read book The Turk and Islam in the Western Eye 1450 750 written by JamesG. Harper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unprecedented in its range - extending from Venice to the New World and from the Holy Roman Empire to the Ottoman Empire - this collection probes the place that the Ottoman Turks occupied in the Western imaginaire, and the ways in which this occupation expressed itself in the visual arts. Individual essays in this volume examine specific images or groups of images, problematizing the 'truths' they present and analyzing the contexts that shape the presentation of Ottoman or Islamic subject matter in European art. The contributors trace the transmission of early modern images and representations across national boundaries and across centuries to show how, through processes of translation that often involved multiple stages, the figure of the Turk (and by extension that of the Muslim) underwent a multiplicity of interpretations that reflect and reveal Western needs, anxieties and agendas. The essays reveal how anachronisms and inaccuracies mingled with careful detail to produce a "Turk," a figure which became a presence to reckon with in painting, sculpture, tapestry and printmaking.

Book Tulips  Arabesques   Turbans

Download or read book Tulips Arabesques Turbans written by Yanni Petsopoulos and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beauty, elegance and variety of Ottoman works of art are the subject of this book. The Ottoman Empire was the last of the great medieval Islamic dynasties. Its power reached from Persia to Vienna and encompassed the eastern Mediterranean. The great imperial city of Constantinople, the nexus between East and West, became its capital--renamed Istanbul--and the center of culture and artistic craftsmanship in the Moslem world. The geographic location and the intensification of trade exposed the empire to a flood of influences from as far as Venice and even China and gave the Ottoman court a taste for luxurious and valuable products, a taste which the Sultans cultivated and sustained by their patronage. In the Classical Ottoman period (fifteenth to seventeenth centuries), the period with which the book is primarily concerned, Ottoman art reached extraordinary heights of perfection. Though the court artists working in the nakkashane (imperial workshops) were liberal in their response to outside influences, they never failed to modify them and give their art a uniquely Ottoman quality. Several distinct styles, incorporating influences from all corners of the empire and beyond, emerged to form a consistent repertoire which was to dominate the arts of this period throughout the Ottoman world. For the various sections of the book, the editor has brought together a team of eminent specialists, each of whose contributions develop this theme. Tulips, Arabesques & Turbans lavishly illustrates and documents the artifacts of an age. Much of the material reproduced here and included in a companion exhibition that will be seen at a number of American museums has never been shown before. Included are the Golden Horn and Rhodian ceramics from İznik, opulent silks from Bursa, exquisitely illuminated manuscripts and a rich array of Ottoman metalwork, an area largely unknown in the West. This volume is a visual treasure and will serve as a handbook on Ottoman decorative arts. -- Inside jacket flap.

  • Pages : 0 pages

Download or read book Turkish Art and Architecture written by Giovanni Curatola and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2010-11-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vibrantly illustrated volume chronicles nearly a millennium of Islamic art and architecture in Turkey. Illustrated with some 250 attractive and well-chosen color photographs, Turkish Art and Architecture is fascinating reading for anyone with an interest in Turkey, and an essential reference for any student of Islamic art and architecture. The Anatolian peninsula, one of the oldest seats of civilization, has been ruled by a succession of great powers, including the Romans and their successors in the East, the Byzantines. Its Islamic era began in 1071, when the Seljuk Turks, nomads from Central Asia who had already taken control of Persia, defeated the Byzantine army at Manzikert and moved west, creating a new sultanate in Anatolia. The Seljuks were eventually succeeded in this region by the Ottoman Turks, who crossed the Bosphorus to conquer an exhausted Constantinople in 1453, and went on to extend their power far beyond the borders of modern Turkey, establishing an empire that endured until the early twentieth century. Ruling over a land that had always been at the crossroads of east and west, these Islamic dynasties developed a cosmopolitan art and architecture. As art historian Giovanni Curatola demonstrates in this insightful new book, they combined elements of the prestigious Persian style and memories of their nomadic past with local Mediterranean traditions, and also adopted local building materials, such as stone and wood. Curatola introduces us first to the new types of buildings introduced by the Seljuks?like the caravansary and the türbe, or mausoleum?and then to the sophisticated architectural achievements of the Ottomans, which culminated in the great domed mosques constructed by the master builder Mimar Sinan (d. 1588). He also traces the history of the decorative arts in Turkey, which included lavishly ornamented carpets, manuscripts, armor, and ceramics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genèse de l'Art Ottoman: Héritage des émirs présente les oeuvres artistiques et architecturales réalisées en Anatolie occidentale au XIVe et XVe siècles, sous l'influence de la dynastie ottomane, alors en pleine ascension. Les émirs turcs ont opéré une fusion stylistique entre les traditions d'Asie Centrale et Seljuk et l'héritage des civilisations hellénistique, romaine et byzantine. Les motifs architecturaux que l'on retrouve dans les mosquées, hammams, hôpitaux, écoles coraniques, mausolées et grands complexes religieux - colonnes et dômes, décoration florale et calligraphique, céramiques et enluminures - témoignent de la richesse de cet apport. L'essor culturel et artistique qui accompagne l'ascension de l'Empire ottoman est profondément marqué par l'héritage spécifique des émirs.
