Özet:

During 18th and 19th centuries of the Ottoman Empire, marked with political, social and cultural interactions with the West, it is observed that a time of new experiments had begun in the miniature painting style of the book arts. Besides, wall paintings, which were included in the modernizing architectural ornamentation programme, indicate that a new mode of painting entered Ottoman visual culture. In this period, it is observed that traditional modes and expressions used in Ottoman illustrated manuscripts were replaced with landscape paintings used in architecture. Landscape paintings, which were also used outside Istanbul in religious and secular architecture of Anatolia, are significant paintings belonging to this time of transition in terms of displaying a unique sense of depiction as they both reflect application of Western techniques and traditional illustrations’ style.
