"This book belongs to a new type of discourse on Ottoman
architecture in which received accounts of events are challenged
and the buildings are seen as important historical documents in
their own right, allowing us to gain a better understanding of the
period as a whole."---Tim Stanley, Cornucopia
"Ünver Rüstem’s groundbreaking study of this most unexpected of
European Baroques reveals the vigour and inventiveness of a style
usually dismissed as decadent and superficial. . . . Ottoman
patrons may have drawn upon Western European models, but when they
were done with them, there was nothing Western left."---Gauvin
Alexander Bailey, The Art Newspaper
"Fascinating . . . . Ottoman Baroque, as Rüstem shows, is therefore
about more than just the adoption of stylistic forms perceived as
novel or attractive . . . . Rüstem’s lucid study offers a new
perspective on the Baroque as an international
phenomenon"---Bernhard Schulz, Art Newspaper
