About This Item
London: Royal Academy of Arts, 2005. First edition. Softcover. g. Large quarto. 494, [2]pp. Original illustrated wrappers. This magnificent catalogue accompanies a spectacular exhibition devoted to the artistic and cultural riches of the Turks. Essays by leading scholars trace Turkish history and cultural development, while paintings, sculpture, textiles, metalwork and ceramics reflect the artistic influences that the Turks assimilated, from their early nomadic wanderings to the glories produced during the reign of Süleyman the Magnificent. This work is splendidly illustrated with over 370 works of art, drawn principally from the celebrated collections of the Topkapi Saray Museum and the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Art in Istanbul, as well as from collections across Europe, Russia and the United States. Upper corners bumped, thus slightly affecting pages throughout. Previous owner's blind stamp on half-title (Norman Hurst). Wrappers and interior in good+ condition.
