seyfi baŞkan. 19 yüzyıldan günümüze türk ressamları contemporary turkish painting
DESCRIPTION
At the point defined by the separation of painting and the miniature, there is a richness at least in terms of technique, content and subject matter, constituting a tie between these two traditions; and among the important factors making possible an awareness of this fact were, as indicated in Chapter 3.1, the European Orientalist painters. Actually the Ottoman adventure of these European artists goes back farther than the 18th century, when ‘oriental’ interests emerged, for they started visiting and sojourning in the Ottoman lands as early as the 15th century, sometimes even taking up posts in the palace where they contributed to the artistic output. The path was opened by certain renowned Italian artists of the 15th century, and in the 16th century was also beaten by painters from Central and Northern Europe.TRANSCRIPT
