Walter B. Denny, University Distinguished Professor, History of Art and Architecture, University of Massachusetts, Amherst During the reign of Sultan Süleyman I in the sixteenth-century Ottoman Empire, dynastic patronage of art began to concentrate on the goal of defining a visual identity, not only for the ruling sultan but for the empire itself. Explore how the means of attaining this goal were found in the corps of salaried, professional designers and artists that formed the Ottoman court design atelier. A state-supported focus on the production of luxury goods in a distinctive and recognizable Ottoman style marked the empire’s cultural maturity, in what later generations would recognize as a high point in the evolution of Ottoman art.
