FORMS OF REFLECTION OF MOSQUES IN URBAN LANDSCAPES IN TURKISH PAINTING

Summary/Abstract: The “mosque” element, which has a very important place among the religious structures in Turkish culture and Islamic belief, has occasionally been included in the works of artists who produce works in an impressionist and descriptive style in Turkish painting. Mosques have always stood out as indispensable places of worship and magnificent architectural structures of Turkish cities, towns or villages where Islamic belief is dominant. In mosquethemed paintings where impressionist understanding or realistic style effects are intensely felt, mosques take on the role of a structural element reflecting the architectural identity of the city or town they are located in. Impressionist painters interested in landscape painting reflect the mosque, which they choose as the most spectacular element of their compositions, in their works by considering it within the framework of a certain view or section. The primary purpose of the research conducted is to emphasize the architectural and cultural importance of the mosque, which has an important place in terms of architectural structure in Turkish Islamic culture. The secondary purpose is to analyse the works in Turkish painting, which have impressionist attitude effects and impressionist style effects on the mosque structure, in the context of plastic and aesthetic values. Its ultimate aim is to re-discover the plastic values that architectural structures add to the view. This research is limited to the view of "Mosque" works produced by painter Hüseyin Avni Lifij, painter Nazmi Ziya, painter Namık İsmail, painter Ali Sami Yetik, painter Selahattin Teoman, painter Şefik Bursalı and painter Nurettin Ergüven in the impressionist style. In the study, which used the qualitative research method, firstly a literature review was conducted on the mosque as an architectural structure and its importance, then the paintings in which the mosque element is included in their compositions were examined in a plastic context and a conclusion was reached. The fact that impressionist painters included the mosque theme in their works is of great importance in terms of awareness and sustainability of the values that mosques have in terms of architecture, Islam and culture.
