Festivals of Colours: Ottoman Miniatures
Colours of the miniatures were used effectively to reflect the historical reality during Ottoman period. While Ottoman contemplation used janissary band music to scare away the enemy on their way to the battle field, miniaturists (nakkas) described the warriors with flowers in their hands. Along reflecting the hictorical facts, miniatures that are the products of the realm of colors and imagination, also reflect the fantastic world of the East. Festivals and daily life are also demonstrated by miniatures. The miniatures are called little paintings throughout Europe. In our study, we will undertake the semiotical analysis of the miniatuares whose subjects are festivals.
