ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
Works of silversmithery and goldsmithery made by orthodox artisans in Constantinople serve as valuable attestations for the variety of artistic and cultural movements that prevailed in the Ottoman capital during the Late Ottoman period. Silversmiths revisited decorative themes introduced by their Byzantine predecessors and were also inspired by respective European artefacts of the late18th century rococo and neoclassical styles. Another source of inspiration was the artistic tendencies of the mid-19th century, characterized by a leap backwards to the antecedent gothic, renaissance and baroque artistic styles. |
