Ottoman Turkish miniature paintings and
figures started with the 1453 conquest of Istanbul (then Constantinople)
by Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror. Cultural and economic development flourished
as Turkish and European painters visited one another and exchanged ideas
and techniques. In spite of this, Turkish painting maintained its old
traditions and resumed to produce works of beauty and artistic value.
Below is an example of a classic miniature
figure design on a beige throw.
