Can't get enough of peering into these Ottoman miniatures - they depict such an amazing world-view! The perspective, colors and background details are very
different from the European Renaissance painting tradition. The Ottoman
painters did not mainly aim to depict the human beings realistically -
through a stylized and abstract painting style they hinted at an infinite and transcendent reality.
The above scenes are painted by the most famous miniature paintes, namely Suleyman the Magnificent, Selim II, Nakkas Osman and Matrakci Nasuh.
