A Talk by Prof. Nurhan Atasoy
In this talk, Prof. Nurhan Atasoy will explore the rich cross-cultural exchange between the Ottomans and their European neighbours. The talk will focus on the multi-faceted cultural influences of the Ottomans on Europe and the book ‘Impressions of Ottoman Culture in Europe: 1453-1699’ written by Atasoy and Dr Lâle Uluç.
The book is the culmination of a six-year research project conducted in 14 countries under the sponsorship of the Turkish Cultural Foundation and has been published in February 2012 by ARMAGGAN Publications.
The talk will be moderated by art historian Dr Deniz Türker from the Department of History of Art, Pembroke College, University of Cambridge.
