TURQUERIES

Turqueries

Auteur(s) : Philippa Scott

Caliphs parading in the paintings of Bellini or Carpaccio, precious carpets dear to Lotto and Holbein, travellers dressed in oriental style by Liotard, exotic magicians by Dossi: this book presents the multiple testimonies of the fascination exerted by the Ottoman myth on the West.

The book analyses the reasons why "Turkishness" has been an inexhaustible source of inspiration for Western culture for more than five hundred years, in fields as diverse as fashion, painting and interior design.
