Islamic art during the Ottoman Empire, which lasted from the 14th to the early 20th century, blended various styles from Persia, Byzantium, and earlier Islamic traditions. This blend created a unique artistic style rich in geometric patterns, vibrant colors, and intricate calligraphy. This style was prominently featured in mosques and palaces. The 16th century, the peak of Ottoman art, was a time of outstanding architectural achievements. Famous architects like Mimar Sinan built stunning structures, such as the Suleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul, which showcased large domes and slender minarets. Ottoman art was not just about architecture; it also excelled in ceramics, like the famous Iznik tiles, textiles, calligraphy, and manuscript illumination, especially in the decoration of the Qur'an. As the Ottoman Empire's power declined in the 19th century, Western influences began to appear in its art. The Ottoman period remains a significant chapter in the history of Islamic art, known for its unique combination of diverse artistic traditions.
