Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the art and architecture that coincided with the reign of Abdülmecid I, who ruled from 1839 to 1861. He commissioned a portrait painted by British artist Sir David Wilkie, which shows the sultan in a relaxed intimate setting rather than as an enthroned ruler. His contributions to the Topkapi palace include a large pavilion-kiosk built in the French Beaux-Arts style. He also built several mosques designed by the Balian family that continued the trend toward Westernized buildings.
