1. Imagined, Embodied and Actual Turks in Early Modern Europe

Author

Subjects
Turks in literature, Turks in art, Turks--Europe--History
Abstract

The confrontation between European countries and the expanding Ottoman Empire in the early modern era has played a major role in numerous fields of history. The aim of this book is to investigate the European-Ottoman interrelations from three angles. One deals with the circumstances: How did the Europeans meet the Turks in pragmatic and diplomatic connections? Another concerns imagery: how were the Turks depicted in literature and art? The third examines performativity: how were the Turks inserted into plays, operas and ceremonies? This book confronts mental, visual and embodied images with historical positions and conditions. The focus, therefore, is on the dynamic interactive processes of experience, embodiment and imagination in context. Bringing together Turkish and European scholars, it applies a number of research strategies used by historians to the history of art, literature, music and theatre.

2. 'The Turk and Islam in the Western Eye, 1450?750 ' : Visual Imagery Before Orientalism

Author

JamesG. Harper and JamesG. Harper

Subjects
Art, Modern--Themes, motives, Turks in art
Abstract

Unprecedented in its range - extending from Venice to the New World and from the Holy Roman Empire to the Ottoman Empire - this collection probes the place that the Ottoman Turks occupied in the Western imaginaire, and the ways in which this occupation expressed itself in the visual arts. Individual essays in this volume examine specific images or groups of images, problematizing the'truths'they present and analyzing the contexts that shape the presentation of Ottoman or Islamic subject matter in European art. The contributors trace the transmission of early modern images and representations across national boundaries and across centuries to show how, through processes of translation that often involved multiple stages, the figure of the Turk (and by extension that of the Muslim) underwent a multiplicity of interpretations that reflect and reveal Western needs, anxieties and agendas. The essays reveal how anachronisms and inaccuracies mingled with careful detail to produce a'Turk,'a figure which became a presence to reckon with in painting, sculpture, tapestry and printmaking.

5. Het venster op het Ottomaanse Rijk.

EUROPE-Turkey relations, THEATER, TURKS in opera, TURKS in art, TURKS in literature, HISTORY, SEVENTEENTH century, INTERNATIONAL relations
Abstract

This contribution aims at analysing the mechanisms responsible for the negative images of Turks and Ottomans in the Dutch Republic of the seventeenth century. Crucial for those mechanisms are the roles of Amsterdam and the Republic in general as an early modern market place for the exchange of information and culture. The systematic transfer of enemy images from conflict zones like the Mediterranean was a major influence on the public images as provided by the theatre or news media. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

7. THE OTTOMAN IMAGE IN THE ADORATION OF THE MAGI BY ANDREA MANTEGNA AND PRINCE CEM.

Author

Berksoy, Funda

Subjects
ART & history, TURKS in art, ITALIAN painting, RENAISSANCE
Abstract

The article focuses on the Italian Renaissance painting "The Adoration of the Magi" by Andrea Mantegna, held in the collection of the John Paul Getty Museum. The author argues that the representation of the king Magus Balthasar is actually a portrait of Ottoman Empire Prince Cem. Cem was the son of Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II and after his father's death he attempted to usurp the throne from his brother Bayezid II. His failure resulted in his living in places in Europe as a result of European Renaissance politics. The author also discusses Italian artist Gentile Bellini, Mantegna's brother-in-law, who visited Istanbul, Turkey in 1479-1481.
