Ottoman Architecture

and the Age of Sinan

 

The images in this group were taken in September and October 2007 and August and September 2008 during field work examining this and other themes including Seljuk art and architecture, Roman Imperial art and architecture, and Armenian architecture. Although the Ottoman collection offers items from the beginning to the end of the Ottoman period, and in Turkey, Syria, and Egypt, there is a special concentration on the work of Mimar Sinan, the famous sixteenth century court architect of Suleiyman the Magnificent who did so much to create a distinctive and recognizable Ottoman style. Most of his work was built in what is now Turkey, and most of that was built in Istanbul, the Ottoman imperial capital.

Below I present a partial listing of the items in the collection in two groups, the first includes items not by Sinan, the second lists the Sinan buildings in the collection.  You may visit the Gallery pages by clicking on the buttons at the top of this page, where I present representative images of the two groups, the first, under the heading Ottoman Gallery, includes the items not by Sinan, and the second, under the heading, Age of Sinan, present images of his work as it is today. In the Age of Sinan set there are over 1,250 images.
