Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
34 by 24cm., 367pp. (English), 445 colour and black and white illustrations. For the Ottomans flowers meant passion tenderness visual joy. Gardens were a synecdoche for the order of the world and for evocation of paradise. Mehmed II Conqueror of Istanbul posed for a miniature painting not brandishing a sword not displaying a panoply of power but smelling a flower. The Ottomans according to some foreign observers had a universal love of flowers. That love suffused the Ottoman visual arts: flower motifs gave vigor to fabric designs book covers miniature paintings illuminations tiles and textiles utensils and decorative pieces. Flowerpots were the diadems of windowsills. Ottoman imperial gardens often retained an atavistic nomadic flavor of asymmetry: They seldom possessed the geometric perfection of Alhambra Medici Versailles or Shiraz. Theirs was an order of passion. The masterpieces of the genre crowned the age of Suleyman (16th century) and the Tulip Age. RARE FIRST EDITION. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-1697453806785
