This book investigates that relationship by situating the \u003ci\u003etaṣvīr-i hümāyūn\u003c\/i\u003e (imperial portrait) within the wider program of top-down modernisation movements initiated at the end of the eighteenth century under Sultan Selim III (r. 1789-1807) and culminating in the \u003ci\u003eTanẓīmāt\u003c\/i\u003e (Reorganization) era (1839-76). The study breaks new ground by considering the use of new image-making technologies and aesthetic trends - including oil-on-canvas paintings, lithographic prints, and photographs - primarily at the imperial court in Istanbul, but also at the provincial courts of the Ottoman Balkans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison Terndrup\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 900473306X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004733060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Alison Terndrup","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425470136575,"sku":"9789004733060","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dca33e9b-8c32-4db3-b7ea-71496b2f05b7.jpg?v=1761539441","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/image-of-the-modern-ottoman-alison-terndrup-9789004733060","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
