This magnificent catalogue was published to accompany a spectacular exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, London from January 22 - April 12, 2005 devoted to the artistic and cultural riches of the Turks. Essays by leading scholars trace Turkic 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 Suleyman the Magnificent. Illustrated with over 270 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 Europ, Russia and the United States, this book is a landmark publication and essential reading for anyone interested in the turbulent but vivid history of the Turks.
