{"product_id":"page-of-ottoman-calligraphy-sheikh-hamdullah","title":"Page of Ottoman Calligraphy - Sheikh Hamdullah","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fine art print of a masterwork by Sheikh Hamdullah, featuring precise Ottoman Naskh script and gold illumination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work represents the refined aesthetic of the Ottoman school of calligraphy, attributed to Sheikh Hamdullah. As a master of the craft, Hamdullah is credited with refining the six scripts (Aqlam al-Sitta) and establishing a distinct Ottoman style that moved away from the earlier Yaqut al-Musta'simi tradition. The composition features a central panel of large, bold script set against a background of delicate, illuminated floral motifs in gold. This is flanked by a column of smaller, precise Naskh script, which displays the rhythmic balance and clarity for which Hamdullah was known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe page is framed by multiple borders, including a textured, marbled paper margin that provides a neutral contrast to the gilded central area. The use of gold leaf and subtle pigments demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship associated with the imperial workshops of the period. The interplay between the heavy, sweeping lines of the larger script and the disciplined, smaller text creates a visual hierarchy that guides the eye across the page. Each element, from the gold-filled rosettes used as punctuation marks to the precise ink work, reflects the technical rigour required in the production of high-quality manuscripts during the late 15th and early 16th centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print captures the tactile quality of the original parchment and the metallic sheen of the gold illumination. It serves as an example of the intersection between literary tradition and visual art in the Islamic world. The balance of negative space and decorative elements ensures that the text remains the primary focus, while the surrounding ornamentation provides a sense of luxury and order. This piece is suitable for those interested in the history of writing, Islamic art, or the development of typographic aesthetics in the pre-modern era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/flauwmoedigheid-pieter-van-den-berge\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFlauwmoedigheid - Pieter van den Berge — Pieter van den Berge\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sheikh Hamdullah","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58805500969295,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58805506539855,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58805506572623,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58805506605391,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58805506638159,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58805506670927,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58805506703695,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58805506736463,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58805506769231,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58805506801999,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58805506834767,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58805506867535,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Page-of-Ottoman-Calligraphy_Poster_CompositorV1_1789649952264.jpg?v=1789650437","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/page-of-ottoman-calligraphy-sheikh-hamdullah","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
