Its Islamic Era Began In 1071, When The Seljuk Turks, Nomads From Central Asia Who Had Already Taken Control Of Persia, Defeated The Byzantine Army At Manzikert And Moved West, Creating A New Sultanate In Anatolia. The Seljuks Were Eventually Succeeded In This Region By The Ottoman Turks, Who Crossed The Bosphorus To Conquer An Exhausted Constantinople In 1453, And Went On To Extend Their Power Far Beyond The Borders Of Modern Turkey, Establishing An Empire That Endured Until The Early Twentieth Century.Ruling Over A Land That Had Always Been At The Crossroads Of East And West, These Islamic Dynasties Developed A Cosmopolitan Art And Architecture. As Art Historian Giovanni Curatola Demonstrates In This Insightful New Book, They Combined Elements Of The Prestigious Persian Style And Memories Of Their Nomadic Past With Local Mediterranean Traditions, And Also Adopted Local Building Materials, Such As Stone And Wood. Curatola Introduces Us First To The New Types Of Buildings Introduced By The Seljuks?Like The Caravansary And The Trbe, Or Mausoleum?And Then To The Sophisticated Architectural Achievements Of The Ottomans, Which Culminated In The Great Domed Mosques Constructed By The Master Builder Mimar Sinan (D. 1588). He Also Traces The History Of The Decorative Arts In Turkey, Which Included Lavishly Ornamented Carpets, Manuscripts, Armor, And Ceramics.
