Özet:

There are various opinions about the origins and names of the Syrians living in the center and districts of Mardin. Although it is unknown exactly when the word Suriani began to be used, it has not been reached a clear consensus on the origin of the Surians. The Shimmeshındi family, which is of Syrian origin, has been in Mardin for two hundred years and has continued printing and painting as a family tradition. In the print-color tradition, coverings can also be used for curtains and decoration purposes. The last representative of the print-colored tradition is again Nasra Şımmeshindi, a member of the Shımmeshindi family, who depicts both the unreligious patterns and motives and the scenes that take the subject from the Bible. In non-religious works, the motifs of the cravings, flowers, geometric and plant patterns, as well as intrusion patterns, are often seen. It is also possible to see these traditional motives and patterns that reflect the local influences of Mardin in the works that take the subject from the Bible. Multi-purpose works and gardens, which can also be used as decoration with the print-coloring technique, have been painted "Baptism", "The Last Dinner", "The Crusade" and "Mary and the Child Jesus". The objective of the study is to document the tradition of the religious subject of painting hand art of the family. In addition to the detailed iconographic examination of the religious scenes painted on these handicraft products, the local, ethnic and geographical effects of Mardin are to reveal their traces in the examples of this handicraft, which is a Christian art, and to identify the original value in the contemporary and local style of Christian art.
