SynopsisLooks at the decorative military art of the Ottomans, and describes the masterpieces from various collections around the world, including the Topkapi Saray Museum in Istanbul, the National Museum In Cracow, the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington DC, the Nationalbibliothek in Vienna, and elsewhere., This work provides a view of the splendid decorative military arts of the Ottomans. The author describes in detail masterpieces from collections around the world, including the Topkapi Saray Museum in Istanbul, the National Museum in Cracow, the Freer Gallery in Washington and Vienna's Nationalbibliotek. Among the objects of art illustrated in the book are flags, tents, turbans, tughs, carpets, shields and a wide variety of ceremonial dress, which, taken together, indicate the level of sophistication in design and manufacture that the Ottomans were able to achieve. The point is made that the Ottomans made these articles and objects for the greater glorification of the state., This book provides a rare and authoritative glimpse at the splendid decorative military art of the Ottomans, and art that is both insufficiently known and insufficiently appreciated. Professor Zygulski describes in detail masterpieces from collections around the world, including the Topkapi Saray Museum in Istanbul, the National Museum In Cracow, the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., the Nationalbibliothek in Vienna, and elsewhere.
