Examples of anatolian wall painting tradition from Bursa that have not survived to the present day

Abstract

With the process of Westernization, a new architectural decorative language, influenced by elements borrowed from the West, becomes part of the changing architectural silhouette of the Ottoman Empire. Differentiating themselves from the traditional art of calligraphy in terms of quality and content, initiate a new style shaped through the capital while simultaneously making their presence felt in Anatolia. The city that hosts the earliest example of the Anatolian school would be Bursa. The city, which has added this new decoration, which is uniquely shaped with its own internal dynamics, to its residences, forms an important part of this tradition with its structures that have not survived to the present day or that have survived to the present day. In this study, the place of this new painting program in the Ottoman mural tradition of the city will be evaluated by mentioning the examples of wall paintings in Bursa buildings that are connected to the Anatolian tradition and have not survived to the present day
