“The Ottoman sultans were enthusiastic patrons of the arts. The period from Mehmet II
to the early eighteenth century witnessed a flourishing production of pottery; rugs, silk,
and other textiles; jewelry; and arms and armor. All of these adorned the palaces of the
rulers. Artists came from all over the world to compete for the generous rewards of the
sultans.
By far the greatest contribution of the Ottoman Empire to world art was in architecture,
especially the magnificent mosques of the last half of the sixteenth century. The Ottoman
Turks modeled their mosques on the open floor plan of Constantinople’s Byzantine church
of Hagia Sophia, creating a prayer hall with an open central area under one large dome.
In the mid-sixteenth century, the greatest of all Ottoman architects, Sinan, began building
the first of his 81 mosques. One of Sinan’s masterpieces was the Suleimaniye Mosque in
Istanbul. Each of his mosques was topped by an imposing dome, and often the entire
building was framed with four towers, or minarets.
The sixteenth century also witnessed the flourishing of textiles and rugs. The Byzantine
emperor Justinian had introduced silk cultivation to the West in the sixth century. Under
the Ottomans the silk industry resurfaced. Factories produced silks for wall hangings, sofa
covers, and especially court costumes. Rugs were a peasant industry. The rugs, made of
wool and cotton in villages from different regions, each boasted their own distinctive
designs and color schemes.” ~ World History

“Called ‘the Magnificent’ by Europeans who both feared and admired him, Süleyman I
was a brilliant sixteenth-century military strategist who raised the Ottoman Empire to the
height of its glory – more than doubling the landholdings he inherited from his father.
During his 46-year reign (1520–1566), he personally led his armies on 13 campaigns,
encouraged the growth of architecture and the fine arts, and played a key role in
European politics of the day. Yet in spite of his power and his many achievements,
Süleyman also endured great tragedy – driven to execute not only his dearest friend
but also two of his own sons.” ~ World History
