  • From Haft Rang to Cuerda Seca
    Università degli Studi di Ferrara DOTTORATO DI RICERCA IN ‘SCIENZE e TECNOLOGIE per l’ARCHEOLOGIA e i BENI CULTURALI’ CICLO XXV COORDINATORE Prof. Carlo Peretto Technological study of the seventeenth century haft rang tiles in Iran with a comparative view to the cuerda seca tiles in Spain Settore Scientifico Disciplinare GEO/09 Dottorando Tutori Dott. Holakooei, Parviz Prof. Petrucci, Ferruccio Carlo Prof.ssa Vaccaro, Carmela Anni 2010/2012 Corso di Dottorato in convenzione con To Moslem Mishmastnehi Abstract The history of polychrome glazed objects in Iran is synchronised with the history of the first known examples of polychrome glazed artifacts. The polychrome glazed bricks of Chughā Zanbīl, dated back to the thirteenth century BC, might be the first evidences of such a claim. This tradition was followed until the fall of the Achaemenids in the fourth century BC, when glazed bricks objects were vastly used to cover the friezes of palaces and important edifices at Persepolis and Susa. Making polychrome glazes on ceramic materials, however, seems to be abandoned until the Islamic period, when polychrome underglaze objects were widely in use in Iran from the tenth century onwards. The first evidences of creating overglaze polychrome decoration was nevertheless achieved on mīnāʾī glazed objects in the thirteenth century AD, which as Abu’l Qasim stated used be originally called haft rang, e.g. ‘seven colours.’ This technique was slightly modified and used throughout the fifteenth and sixteen centuries in Iran, and then was extensively used in the seventeenth century over the Safavid period (1501-1736). In all these types of polychromies, a dark colour line (mostly black) is used to separate various coloured glazes.

  • The Contribution of the Christians in Asia Minor Pottery
    V ASS I LI O S D. K Y RI AZ O P O U LO S THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE CHRISTIANS IN ASIA MINOR POTTERY This study deals with the Greek and Armenian potters especially of North- Western Asia Minor and the contribution of the former to the development of tile-making and -painting in their original homelands and in Greece after their compulsory emigration in 1922. The indigenous populations of Asia Minor —Greek and Armenian Chris­ tians— are known to have played as important a role before 1923 in the advance­ ment of the art of pottery in Asia Minor as the alien Muslim population and formerly the Persians. It is also known that during the period of the Turkish empire both in Cyprus and in the Greek islands which were occupied by the Turks until 1912 (i.e. Crete, Rhodes, Cos, Samos, Chios, Lesbos etc.), all the im­ portant potteries were almost entirely Greek. As is well known, one of the countries where, during the more distant past, the quality of pottery and vase-painting had reached a very high level by world­ wide standards was Persia. However after the Mongols invaded the country of Darius during the XHIth century, Persian intellectuals and artists, including accomplished vase-painters, fled to Asia Minor, a large part of which (Ana­ tolia) was in the hands of the Seldjuks who patronized and fostered the fine arts. These Persian specialists in pottery along with many others of their fel­ low craftsmen, who were later on from time to time transported willy-nilly to Anatolia, passed on their advanced knowledge of ceramics and their artistic disposition to the native Ottomans and Christians, both Greek and Armenian1.

    1-ICAUD Timurid Tile Style in Anatolia and Footprints of Masters of Tabriz Mustafa Çağhan Keskin (M.Sc. Arch. Mustafa Çağhan Keskin, Istanbul Technical University, ITU Faculty of Architecture, Taskisla 34437, Istanbul, Turkey, [email protected]) 1 ABSTRACT Due to the political situation after the Ankara Battle, impact of Timurid style appears in Ottoman art lasting about a century. After reorganizing process from the concussion of defeat in Ankara, Ottomans import the artistic style of Timurids, which is their new politic model and rival, with a traumatic apprehension. The signs of this import style can be seen in several structures in Ottoman state and several principalities around. A survey of these structures gives information on the journey of the first group of artists that came from the Timurid state to Anatolia. The first, who came to Anatolia, were a group of Tabrizian artists, with NakkaĢ Ali, who was taken away from Bursa to Semerkand and set free to return after the death of Timur. Masters of Tabriz, who were thought to work in Timurid structures in Samarkand , undertook the tile decoration of YeĢil Complex (1419- 1424), which was the first significant architectural activity after the Ankara Battle. Masters of Tabriz implemented the cuerda seca technique and some other Timurid tile tradition, as an innovation for Anatolia in YeĢil Complex. Just after completing their work in YeĢil Complex, they continued to work in Muradiye Complex (1424-1426). Then, they moved to Edirne with the order of sultan, to decorate Muradiye Mevlevihanesi (1427). After Edirne, they appear in Kütahya, capital of the Germiyanoğlu Principality, decorating the tomb of Yakup Beg II (1429), who had political and relative connections with the Ottoman dynasty.

Technique, Courtliness and Social Distinction in the Medieval Ceramics ABSTRACT Islamic society gave the pottery a high capacity for symbolic representation of power thanks to its promotion, favouring his great technical development. This can be perceived in al-Andalus during the Caliphate of Córdoba, with the introduction of tin-glaze pottery, but it achieved under taifa’s kingdoms an upper bound with the lusterware. This role was emulated by Christian society promoting technical transfer and gradually impulsing the Moorish craft and using their ceramics for both, the Court and market needs.

Although luster painting could work with multiple colors, we see more monochromatic examples that later spread elsewhere in Western Asia and then further west to North Africa, Europe, and America. Haft rang tile was a good choice for economic reasons it was both cheaper and quicker to produce , and the seven colors gave more artistic freedom to artisans.

These are stable in either a contracted or an expanded state, and can switch between the two, which might be useful for surgical stents or for spacecraft components. As a result, many Islamic decorations feature stylized motifs and either interlacing patterns such as geometric designs or arabesques or calligraphy — or a combination.

  • Morisco Decorative Art and Spain's Hybrid Culture, 1492-1614
    ‘Altogether Un-European’: Morisco Decorative Art and Spain’s Hybrid Culture, 1492-1614 By Sandra Curley A Thesis Submitted to Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History. December 2014, Halifax Nova Scotia Copyright Sandra Curley, 2014 Approved: Dr. Lyndan Warner Approved: Dr. Mona Holmlund Approved: Dr. Teresa Heffernan Approved: Dr. Nicole Neatby Date: December 5, 2014 Abstract ‘Altogether Un-European’: Morisco Decorative Art and Spain’s Hybrid Culture, 1492- 1614 By Sandra Curley After the fall of Islamic leadership in Granada in 1492, the entire Iberian Peninsula came under Christian rule. Over the course of the sixteenth century up until the expulsion of the Moriscos in 1609, the crown and Inquisition officials in Spain worked to eliminate the remnants of Islamic culture, such as clothing, baths, and the Arabic language. Yet, Moorish and Islamic decorative arts were overlooked and even supported by church and state. This thesis argues that many elements of Iberian Islamic arts and culture were adopted across Spain, and the resulting hybrid Spanish culture created an exotic or ‘Oriental’ image to outsiders. Despite Spain’s location within Europe, and the conversion, however superficial, of its peoples to Christianity, Europeans continued to perceive Spain as different. The hybrid culture from 900 years of coexistence with Muslims made it impossible to purge the ‘other’ from Spain completely, despite the crown’s Catholic ideals.

The reconstruction of the vessel’s itinerary aids in understanding how an object travelled from Muslim Spain to Catholic Flanders and why it ended up under Sint- Lievens-Houtem’s marketplace, about two centuries after its production. Traditional explanations of Crusades or trade seem unlikely or do not account for the entire trajectory of the vessel. These narratives are therefore extended with the incorporation of the vessel in Sint-Lievens-Houtem’s church treasury.
