This work brings together Matrakçı Nasuh’s striking miniatures of Istanbul, created during the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"520\" data-end=\"944\"\u003eMatrakçı Nasuh’s works stand out for their distinctive style, in which human figures are almost entirely absent and cities take center stage. Documenting Istanbul in the 1530s, these miniatures are an unparalleled visual source on the urban fabric of the period. From sailboats on the Golden Horn and galleons in front of the shipyard to cypress trees on the hills of Galata and fruit trees, countless details are rendered with great skill and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"946\" data-end=\"1302\"\u003eThis book presents some of the finest examples of the “Matrakçı style,” renowned for its attention to detail. Featuring in particular the celebrated 1536 miniature of Istanbul, it reveals the visual history of the Ottoman capital in the 16th century. A valuable resource for enthusiasts of history, art, and architecture, this work opens a unique window onto Istanbul’s golden age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-asin=\"9757499110\" data-customer-id=\"\" data-marketplace=\"ATVPDKIKX0DER\" data-session-id=\"131-3226328-6872561\" data-logged-in=\"false\" class=\"_tell-amazon-desktop_style_tell_amazon_div__1YDZk\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-asin=\"9757499110\" data-customer-id=\"\" data-marketplace=\"ATVPDKIKX0DER\" data-session-id=\"131-3226328-6872561\" data-logged-in=\"false\" class=\"_tell-amazon-desktop_style_tell_amazon_div__1YDZk\"\u003eDost Publications\u003cbr\u003ePublication date: ‎January 1, 1996\u003cbr\u003eLanguage‏ : ‎ English\u003cbr\u003eNumber of pages:‎ 112\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hollanda Kitapevi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56154213515599,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0890\/0719\/4447\/files\/IstanbulSeenByMatrakci.png?v=1760572479","url":"https:\/\/hollandakitapevi.com\/en\/products\/istanbul-seen-by-matrakci-and-the-miniatures-of-the-16th-century","provider":"Hollanda Kitap Evi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
