Reflections of ottoman tiles on orientalist paintings and their comparisons with the originals

Due the end of the 19th century, exotic idea of East that the Western has, ranked among fictional compositions which was formed by eastern style figures, accessories and the art of painting. Our ''The reflections of Ottoman Tiles in Orientalist Paintings and Comparisons with Originals'' work proves the effect of Ottoman in these compositions. As the post-graduate thesis should be limited, the evaluation has been done with only fifty paintings. In this evaluation, the question that is answered is whether the artists painted these pictures by considering social-economic reasons or they were concerned about esthetical design. While choosing these artists in the catalogue, it has been considered that if the artist is well-known in Orientalism, if he/she shows tile decoration in the painting and if she/he had ever visited the Ottoman lands before. The constructions which included the Ottoman tiles in chosen paintings have been defined, the tiles have been compared in terms of technique, design and composition with the original ones and according to the data, the tiles have been evaluated in terms of authenticity.
