Özet

In Ottoman era, although the painting of human bodies has traditionally forbidden in Islamic culture and world view of Sufism, artists depicted reality with a painting style named “miniature” which rejects mimesis and displays reality without third dimensions with close observations. The technical characteristics of Ottoman miniature art has many differences from Western painting art. Ottoman artists has an aim to hint the infinite and divine reality with their works. Because of having limited facilities in that time, artists had to work more practically and put many spaces and periods together on the paper. The point of doing that is using the paper as much as possible. Perspective, light and shading technics do not exist in Ottoman miniature art. The principle is to reflect main shapes and lines of the subject, thereby allowing the artists to portray many different scenes at the same time in one work of art. Unlike Western painting culture, Ottoman miniatures were not signed not only because of Islamic point of view about individualism but also works were not created by only one artist. Miniature is a part of Ottoman handwriting book art together with calligraphy, marbling paper. Important events related to government and administration, official ceremonies, entertainments, weddings, circumcision festivities are depicted in Ottoman miniatures. Especially the books named masnawis which are written about astrology, history, love, religion, science etc., were mostly painted with miniatures. The miniatures in handwriting books express not only Classical Ottoman life and portrait of historical events but also mythological world that shows Ottoman inner life. As we see Ottoman mythology has many sources like Torah, Bible, Ancient Iran, Sumerian mythology, Islamıc culture etc. In our exhibition named “Ottoman Miniature Art” is going to be exhibited works of miniature artists Nakkas Osman, Nigari lived in the sixteenth century which is the golden age of Ottoman miniature art with its own characteristics.
