New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (28 x 24 cm). In English. 181 p., color and b/w ills. Since its earlier periods, The Ottoman Empire has established intense relations with European states. Urged by curiosity and a certain degree of fear at times, the West's efforts, on the other hand, to be acquainted with and understand this government of immense military power and source of political authority, emerged as a political exigency. Undoubtedly, the encounter of markedly different cultures bore the most enduring fruit within the realm of arts. Wars, the increase of trade as a means for mutual prosperity, and conflicts of status were the most significant factors behind the intense traffic of diplomacy. Sprawled across a vast geography, the Ottoman Empire welcomed more ambassadors than it sent to other countries, and particularly until the 19th century; these ambassadors were embraced, per Ottoman tradition. In turn, western ambassadors were prompted by the need to document the cities, particularly Istanbul, social structure, customs, administrative and military organization of the Ottoman Empire; apart from the reports they drafted upon their return, they also took advantage of the gifts and paintings they carried along. Often presumed to be true-to-life visual documents, such paintings thus became the most evident expressions of respectability and social status, and attained a special place and meaning, partly due to their potential to address the masses. The works that ambassadors commissioned to artists they added to their retinue en route to the East or to their local counterparts they encountered during service, evolved into books with engravings or collections decorating the walls of European chateaus, and served as source material for works by other artists, thus generating a large visual repertoire on the Ottoman world. Ottoman ambassadors sent to European countries were subjects of monumental portraits painted by leading European artists of the period, immortalizing these historic visits. This selection from the Suna and Inan Kiraç Foundation Orientalist Painting Collection, not only allows us to travel across the meandering paths of diplomatic history under the guidance of art, but it also introduces us to intriguing personalities. Ambassadors and painters continue to communicate with us through a silent yet equally rich and colourful language of expression, presented in their reports and letters, and share with us their respective periods, worldviews, travels and experiences, as well as the ceremonies they joined. Listening to their extraordinary tales, it is impossible not to be enraptured by the splendor and elegance of a lost age. Often used as one of the clearest indications of status and identity in western art since Antiquity, portraits also served a similar purpose for ambassadors. Furthermore, documenting the physiognomy of ambassadors through portraiture was also regarded as a precautionary measure against espionage. Portraits were painted of European ambassadors sent to the Ottoman Empire as high-level officials that have attained great respectability; artists to which these portraits were commissioned strived to reflect not only the physiognomy of the ambassadors, but the power and authority of the state and the ruler they represented. The Ottoman State's political, military, commercial, and cultural relations with European states gained momentum from the 18th century onwards. In turn, the visits Ottoman ambassadors paid to western countries accelerated the spread of the Turquerie fashion of the period. While portraits of Ottoman ambassadors painted by renowned artists of the countries to which they were assigned served to honor the Ottoman Sultan and his representative, they also nurtured the West's penchant for exoticism. There is no doubt that the ever-changing trends, fashions, as well as the purpose of diplomatic visits and political relations were reflected in the portraits. For example, while Kozbekçi M

Compiling the visual odyssey of our beloved borough of Üsküdar, spanning 500 years from the 1420s up until the 1950s, "The golden city" album aims at presenting the pertinent documents of the historical heritage that Üsküdar possesses. The paintings, etchings, photographs, postcards, and maps incorporated into the book all function to adequately and efficiently reflect and convety a semblance of the likeness of the past times pertaining to the "Eternal city" Üsküdar (Scutari) the our present day, and carry them forward to to posterity.

Along with being a rich art collection for the museums, the large number of portraits where the foreigners pose in Turkish costumes in their homeland after fighting with the Turks, showing how "Fear from the Turks" converted into a fascination, and the goods from the Ottomans that are either gained from wars, received as presents or bought, and the important role that they played in the European social life have always been interesting subjects for historians and other social researchers. In the exhibition, 92 oil paintings, landscapes and engravings, coming from different Museums in Central Europe (especially Slovenia) and private collections from England and Turkey, were displayed.

LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO ALLA COPERTINA; VOLUME MAI SFOGLIATO, OTTIME CONDIZIONI. I Dialoghi (caratteri tradizionali: 論語, caratteri semplificati: 论语 pinyin: Lún Yǔ), sono una raccolta di pensieri e di frammenti di dialoghi del pensatore e filosofo cinese Confucio e dei suoi discepoli. Il titolo cinese significa letteralmente "discussione sulle parole [di Confucio]". Talvolta, specialmente nei trattati più datati, l'opera è presentata come "Analecta di Confucio", sebbene la traduzione analecta sia sbagliata e fuorviante, poiché i Dialoghi non fanno affatto parte di tale stile letterario. Scritti durante il Periodo delle primavere e degli autunni e il Periodo dei regni combattenti (ca. 479 a.C. - 221 a.C.), i Dialoghi sono considerate tra le opere più rappresentative del pensiero confuciano, ed hanno tuttora una grande influenza sulla cultura cinese e dell'Asia orientale. Il capitolo 10, che contiene dettagli sulla vita quotidiana di Confucio, ha destato l'interesse di Voltaire e di Ezra Pound, che hanno sottolineato la dimensione umana del filosofo. Simon Leys, che ha recentemente tradotto i Dialoghi in inglese e in francese, ha affermato che l'opera costituisce il primo esempio di un libro che descrive la vita di un personaggio storico. Analogamente, Elias Canetti ha definito i Dialoghi come il più antico ritratto intellettuale e spirituale di un uomo (Das Gewissen der Worte, 1975).
