fWotD Episode 2636: Empire of the Sultans Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 23 July 2024 is Empire of the Sultans.Empire of the Sultans: Ottoman Art of the Khalili Collection was a 1995–2004 touring exhibition displaying objects from the Khalili Collection of Islamic Art. Around two hundred exhibits, including calligraphy, textiles, pottery, weapons, and metalwork, illustrated the art and daily life of six centuries of the Ottoman Empire. Many of the objects had been created for the leaders of the empire, the sultans. Two of the calligraphic pieces were the work of sultans themselves.In the 1990s, the exhibition was hosted by institutions in Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Israel. It visited thirteen cities in the United States from 2000 to 2004, a period when Islam became especially controversial due to the September 11 attacks and the subsequent wars in the Middle East. Critics described the exhibition as wide-ranging and informative. They praised it for showing beautiful art works – naming the calligraphy in particular – and for presenting a fresh view of Islam. Catalogues were published in English and French.The Ottoman Empire lasted from the 13th century until 1922 and, at its peak, had territory in three continents: Asia, Europe, and Africa. In 1516 and 1517, it took over Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem, the holiest cities of Islam. Although officially an Islamic state, the empire was culturally diverse and multilingual, including Christians and Jews as well as Muslims. Through the history of the Ottoman Empire, its rulers, the sultans, were patrons of the arts. At the capital Constantinople, they created institutes to train and organise architects and artists, establishing distinctive Ottoman styles of architecture, manuscript illustration, and design. The Ottomans developed distinctive styles of Islamic calligraphy, improving its practice for nearly 500 years. In the 19th century it was routine for the sultans themselves to be trained in calligraphy. During the 16th-century reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, the empire reached its greatest extent. Suleiman and his successors used their wealth to build the Topkapı Palace and other buildings in Constantinople, including large mosque complexes decorated inside with architectural inscriptions.For much of its history, Islamic sacred art has been characterised by aniconism: a prohibition against depictions of living beings. Islamic cultures and time periods differed in how they interpreted this, either as applying narrowly to religious art or to art as a whole. Islamic artists compensated for the restrictions on figurative art by using decorative calligraphy, geometric patterns, and stylised foliage known as arabesque.Sir Nasser David Khalili is a British-Iranian scholar, collector, and philanthropist who has assembled the world's largest private collection of Islamic art. The Khalili Collection of Islamic Art spans the time period from 700 to 2000 and includes religious art works and decorative objects as well as those with secular purposes. Empire of the Sultans was the first exhibition drawn entirely from this collection and the first major exhibition at the School of Oriental and African Studies' Brunei Gallery. Some of its objects had never before been put on public display.The exhibition's curators were J. M. Rogers, the collection's honorary curator; and Nahla Nassar, its acting curator and registrar. More than 200 objects were on display, covering six centuries of the Ottoman Empire. These exhibits fell into four sections. "In the service of God" displayed texts including the Quran as well as furniture and ornaments for decorating mosques. "Sultans, soldiers and scribes" included armour, banners, and documents relating to the administration of the empire. "Arts and crafts" included metalwork, textiles, glass, and ceramics. Finally, "books, paintings and scripts" included manuscript paintings, calligraphic works, tools associated with calligraphy, and book bindings. Most objects in the exhibition bore some form of calligraphy.Some venues had listening stations that let visitors listen to music from Ottoman Turkey and hear stories in Arabic and English. At Brigham Young University, carpenters recreated facades of Turkish mosques.The religious manuscripts included thirty-two calligraphed Qurans or Quran sections. These included the work of notable calligraphers including Ahmed Karahisari, Sheikh Hamdullah, Hâfiz Osman, and Mustafa Izzet Efendi. Other literary works included the Masnavi of Rumi and the Dala'il al-Khayrat, a collection of prayers. Wooden roundels, painted with Quranic quotes or the names of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and of the first caliphs, had been used to decorate mosques. Similar decorative calligraphy was embroidered on silk or satin textiles, including a black satin panel from a covering for the door of the Kaaba. Mosque furnishings on display included candlesticks and decorative door fittings in brass or copper. There were qibla compasses used to find the direction of Mecca for prayer and astrolabe quadrants for telling the time for prayer from the rising of stars.The armour on display included helmets, chain mail shirts, and a 15th century war mask. These were mainly forged from iron or steel. Some of this armour was for horses: chamfrons which protected their faces and also served an ornamental purpose. A cotton talismanic shirt was decorated with Quranic quotations, prayers, and the 99 names of God. Weapons on display included daggers, swords, and flintlock guns, many with inscriptions and fine decorative patterns created by damascening (inlaying gold and silver wires into a metal surface). The daggers and swords included the earliest surviving example of a curved Islamic sword upon which was engraved the name of Baybars, a 13th-century Mamluk sultan. The Ottomans took this from Egypt and added gold damascening. Military banners bore the names of God and Muhammad along with prayers and invocations. An image distinctive to Ottoman banners was Zulfiqar, the two-bladed sword that Muhammad is said to have taken at the Battle of Badr. A section of one such banner was included in the exhibition.The documents included grants of land and income. As official proclamations of the sultan, these used highly ornate, stylised calligraphy and incorporated the sultan's tughra, an elaborate monogram that was their official seal. The display included tughras of Suleiman the Magnificent, Selim II, Murad III, Ahmed I, Mehmed IV, Abdul Hamid I, and Abdulmecid I. Two manuscripts told histories of the sultans, illustrated with portrait paintings.The third section included metalwork, pottery, jade, and textiles. The domestic metalwork objects were made of silver, brass, or gilt copper. The textiles, from the 16th and 17th centuries, included rugs and woven silk lampas panels from locations around the Ottoman Empire.In the late 16th century, the Ottomans used Iznik pottery, with its bold colours on white, to decorate imperial palaces and mosques. Several examples from Iznik were included in the exhibition, including tiles, dishes, and vases. Other pottery on display included fritware dishes from Syria and a set of twelve fritware bowls made in 1860, each inscribed in Arabic with "Imperial Chamber" and "a gift for his excellency Abraham Lincoln". The curators were not able to establish why or where this gift was made for Lincoln, beyond that the inscription suggests they were made in Turkey. A 16th or 17th century tile panel, 207 by 112.5 centimetres (6.79 ft × 3.69 ft), bore two calligraphed statements of faith, suggesting it was made to decorate a mosque.The final section of the exhibition included calligraphic works, manuscript paintings, decorative book bindings, and tools used by calligraphers. The calligraphic works included single panels, albums, and inscriptions on leaves. Among their scribes were notable calligraphers such as Sheikh Hamdullah, Mahmud Celaleddin Efendi, and Mehmed Şevkî Efendi. The exhibition had calligraphy panels by two sultans, Abdulmejid I and Mahmud II. One type of calligraphic work special to Islam is the hilye, a description in words of the qualities of Muhammad or other prophets of Islam. On display were several examples of hilyes. Some of these followed a standard pattern with main text inside a central medallion and additional names and quotations in surrounding panels; others had unconventional layouts or textual inclusions.Among the paintings and drawings were portraits from poetry manuscripts, painted within elaborate decorative borders, and two examples of the saz style which combines fantastical foliage and creatures. The exhibition travelled to a total of sixteen venues in four countries. Some venues put on special events, including performances of Turkish music, film viewings, lectures, and demonstrations of calligraphy.Musée Rath, Geneva, Switzerland, July – September 1995Brunei Gallery, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK, July – October 1996Israel Museum, Jerusalem, Israel, December 1996 – June 1997Thirteen venues were in the United States, the first time an exhibition from the Khalili Collections had been held in North America.Society of the Four Arts, Palm Beach, Florida, February – April 2000Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, Michigan, July – October 2000Albuquerque Museum of Art and History, Albuquerque, New Mexico, October 2000 – January 2001Portland Art Museum, Portland, Oregon, January – April 2001Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, San Francisco, California, August – October 2001Bruce Museum of Arts and Science, Greenwich, Connecticut, October 2001 – January 2002Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, February – April 2002North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh, North Carolina, May – July 2002Museum of Art, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah, August 2002 – January 2003Oklahoma City Museum of Art, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, February – April 2003Frist Center for the Visual Arts, Nashville, Tennessee, May – August 2003Museum of Arts and Sciences, Macon, Georgia, August – November 2003Frick Art and Historical Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, November 2003 – February 2004Critics described Empire of the Sultans as broad and informative. Reviewing the Geneva exhibition for the Financial Times, Susan Moore observed that "no other single collection outside Istanbul has the range of material" to put on such a wide-ranging overview of Ottoman culture. She identified its main achievement as showing how the Ottoman world was affected by its conquest of other territories. The Middle East magazine said the Brunei Gallery offered a "beautifully curated" show that "cleverly illustrates how art was an integral part of Ottoman daily life". The Columbian concluded from the Portland exhibition that "Nasser D. Khalili's collection of Islamic art treasures is so extensive it nearly brings the Ottoman Empire to life." The New York Times described "[t]his treasure trove of a show" at the Bruce Museum as having "an impressive sweep".Critics praised the beauty of the exhibited art works. The Albuquerque Tribune described Empire of the Sultans as a "stunning exhibit of treasures of the Ottoman Empire" whose 225 objects "are simply breathtaking". Reviewing for the San Francisco Chronicle, David Bonetti found all the objects "at least interesting" and the best "gorgeous", naming the carpets and ceramics as highlights. For The Capital Times, Kevin Lynch described the Milwaukee exhibition as a "serenely gorgeous show" and "a must-see for those who want clarity in these troubling times." In his review of the year for 2002, Lynch named Empire of the Sultans as the fourth best visual arts event. Reviewing the London exhibition for The Times, John Russell Taylor found it a pity that some of the most interesting objects shown in Geneva had been excluded from the Brunei Gallery (usually for lack of space), but said that the somewhat reduced display still included "many real gems of significant art".The calligraphy, in particular, attracted praise. The Associated Press wrote that its beauty could be appreciated even by visitors who do not understand Arabic writing. Alan Riding in The New York Times described the calligraphy from the later years of the Ottoman Empire as "works of extraordinary delicacy". In The Oklahoman, John Brandenburg named the calligraphy section as the strongest part of the exhibition, saying that the "magnificent blend of art and science as well as military and cultural history" may require more than one visit to take in. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution highlighted the "superb" calligraphy as well as "wonderful" miniature paintings.Empire of the Sultans was described as showing Islam in a way that contrasted with existing prejudices and with current media coverage. Describing the Brigham Young University exhibition as a "[p]art decorative art extravaganza, part cultural history lesson", The Salt Lake Tribune praised it for sharing the artistic culture of the Islamic world at a time when news mentions of Islam were dominated by war in the Middle East. The US senator John Edwards said of the North Carolina exhibition in 2002, "Since Sept. 11, Americans have been asking more questions [...] about Islam and Islamic cultures in general. The Museum of Art's exhibition offers opportunities to enhance our understanding of Islam's rich and varied cultural history, as well as the events happening today." The New Statesman recommended "an unmissable exhibition" that showed Ottoman culture on its own terms rather than following Western preconceptions. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette saw the exhibition as an alternative both to the way Islam was being portrayed in news reports and to a romanticised view of the Arabic world as mysterious and distant. A catalogue by J. M. Rogers was first published in both English and French in 1995 to coincide with the exhibition at the Musée Rath in Geneva. This included colour photographs of 203 exhibited objects. Updated English editions accompanied the Brunei Gallery exhibition in 1996. Fourth and fifth editions of the catalogue were produced for the United States tour, including 226 objects.Rogers, J. M. (1995). Empire of the Sultans: Ottoman Art from the Collection of Nasser D.

Francia enfrenta importantes desafíos a medida que se acercan los Juegos Olímpicos de París 2024. Desde la seguridad hasta la logística, el Gobierno francés está trabajando para abordar preocupaciones cruciales antes de la fecha de inauguración, el 26 de julio. Con la alerta de terrorismo elevada y preocupaciones sobre la infraestructura y el transporte, Francia busca asegurar el éxito del evento deportivo de renombre mundial. Analizamos los retos de los JJ. OO. de París a 100 días de su inicio. Con la cuenta regresiva para los esperados Juegos Olímpicos de París 2024, el Gobierno francés se encuentra ante una serie de desafíos que van desde la seguridad hasta la logística. Uno de los principales retos que enfrenta Francia es garantizar la seguridad del evento, especialmente después de que una rama del grupo yihadista Estado Islámico se atribuyera un letal ataque en una sala de conciertos en Moscú, a finales de marzo. En respuesta, el Gobierno ha elevado la alerta de terrorismo en el país al máximo de tres niveles, preparándose para cualquier amenaza inminente. Con la fecha de inauguración cada vez más cercana, prevista para el 26 de julio, Francia aspira a realizar por primera vez en la historia un evento inaugural al aire libre. El plan incluye que más de 10.000 atletas naveguen por 6 kilómetros del río Sena, creando una imagen impresionante para dar inicio a los juegos. Sin embargo, ante los riesgos de seguridad, el presidente Emmanuel Macron ha confirmado la existencia de planes alternativos, como limitar las celebraciones a la Plaza de Trocadero o realizar el evento dentro del emblemático Stade de France en la capital. Además de los desafíos de seguridad, persisten preocupaciones sobre la infraestructura y la preparación del transporte para el evento. Existe incertidumbre sobre si todos los sistemas de transporte estarán listos a tiempo, lo que se agrava con el riesgo de huelgas que podrían afectar la movilidad durante los juegos. Para analizar estos desafíos y más, conversamos con nuestros invitados en esta edición de El Debate: - Juan Pupiales, editor de deportes de France 24. - Eumar Esaá, periodista deportiva especializada en Juegos Olímpicos. - Alan Riding, escritor y periodista del New York Times para América Latina y Europa, autor de varios libros como 'Vecinos Distantes: Un Retrato de los Mexicanos'. 

In letzter Zeit haben sich verschiedene Ausstellungen auch den visuellen Aspekten des Musiktheaters gewidmet. Auch der Buchmarkt will sich da nicht zurückhalten und so ist jetzt von Alan Riding ein dicker Band „Die Oper. Eine Zeitreise in opulenten Bildern“ erschienen. Operngeschichte erzählen, Opernführer sein, den Institutionen und Machern nachspüren und dann auch noch das Medium verführerisch visualisieren – der Band will zu viel, findet Opernredakteur Bernd Künzig.

Analizamos los retos del nuevo rey Carlos III de Inglaterra tras su coronación este 6 de mayo. Mantener la unión de Reino Unido, la ecología, revisar el pasado colonial, modernizar ciertos aspectos de la monarquía o gestionar las rencillas familiares serán algunos de los desafíos. Además nos preguntamos por los índices de aprobación de la monarquía británica en estos tiempos de inflación y cuando las generaciones más jóvenes parecen mirar hacia otro lado. Hacía 70 años que no se celebraba un ritual de coronación en Reino Unido y por muchas razones, las comparativas entre el rey Carlos y su madre, la reina Isabel II van a ser inevitables. La coronación de 1953 mostró a una monarca joven que llegó al trono tras la muerte de su padre, el rey Jorge VI, y se convirtió en un ícono muy querido. A diferencia, a sus 74 años, Carlos llega al trono ya siendo una figura conocida, cuyos defectos han sido analizados en los medios de comunicación durante décadas y que sigue siendo la cabeza de una familia cuyas rencillas últimamente han dejado a la Casa de Windsor dividida. En momentos de inflación y de asperezas económicas para Londres, parece que entre los británicos ha bajado la ilusión por celebrar la realeza.Nos acompañan en este estudio:-Alan Riding, periodista británico, excorresponsal del New York Times-Elda Tomasini, periodista independiente-En dúplex: Arnaldo Mera Ávalos, historiador de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú  En Primera Plana también está en las redes sociales.Coordinación editorial: Melissa Barra y Paola Ariza Producción: Melissa BarraRealización: Laurie Plisson,Yann Bourdelas, Mathias Taylor, David Brockway

La persecución política, de nuevo en Nicaragua. Al menos 19 opositores, entre periodistas y antiguos aliados del Gobierno, han sido detenidos por la Policía Nacional, órgano que responde a Daniel Ortega y a la vicepresidenta, su esposa, Rosario Murillo.

El nuevo presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, ha iniciado su mandato con una serie de medidas simbólicas con varios objetivos en la mira: marcar una ruptura neta con la herencia de su predecesor, frenar la pandemia del Coronavirus y sus efectos devastadores, relanzar la maquinaria económica, y obrar en favor de la reunificación de un país más dividido que nunca. Aunque dispondrá de una corta mayoría en el Congreso, muchas de sus propuestas requieren de un compromiso político para concretarse, no sólo frente a los representantes republicanos sino también con los del partido Demócrata. Una suerte de carrera contra reloj ha iniciado. Los primeros resultados se verán en 100 días (por ejemplo, si cumple con la promesa de vacunar a 100 millones de estadounidenses contra la Covid-19); otros a mediano plazo, como el programa de 1,9 billones de dólares propuesto recientemente, o el proyecto de regularización de 11 millones de personas indocumentadas que viven en Estados Unidos en un plazo de 8 años. De sus resultados dependerá lo que suceda en las elecciones intermedias del 2023. Nuestros invitados Marc Bassets ex corresponsal de El País en Washington, Alan Riding, ex corresponsal del New York Times, e Isabella Alcañiz, profesora y subjefa del departamento de Gobierno y Política de la Universidad de Maryland analizan algunas de esas medidas así como las opciones a adoptar. #EnPrimeraPlana también está en Facebook. Un programa coordinado por Florencia Valdés, realizado por Thibault Baduel, Fabien Mugneret, Olivier Roux.   

Varias noticias han sacudido a las casas reales en las últimas semanas: desde la crisis provocada en Buckingham Palace por la "independencia" del Príncipe Harry Meghan Markle hasta el reconocimiento a una hija ilegítima que ha tenido que hacer el emérito rey belga Alberto II. Actualmente hay en el planeta 27 monarquías: algunas simbólicas y otras con verdadero poder geoestratégico. Hoy nos preguntamos por el rol que juegan en pleno siglo 21. Un presunto "anacronismo" que sin embargo se reproduce en democracias tan solventes como Dinamarca, Suecia o Holanda. Nos acompañan en esta edición: --Luisa Corradini, corresponsal de La Nación --Alan Riding, excorresponsal del NYT en Latinaomérica --Adeline Rucquoi, Historiadora, especialista de la península ibérica y mundo medieval --Y desde Londres nuestro corresponsal, Juan Carlos Bejarano,  que nos va a poner al tanto de las últimas polémicas que ha tenido que gestionar Isabel II   ¿Se justifican las monarquías en el mundo actual? ¿Los beneficios de representación y comerciales son su argumento principal de existencia? Son algunas de las cuestiones que afrotamos esta semana en En Primera Plana con nuestros invitados.

Varias noticias han sacudido a las casas reales en las últimas semanas: desde la crisis provocada en Buckingham Palace por la "independencia" del Príncipe Harry Meghan Markle hasta el reconocimiento a una hija ilegítima que ha tenido que hacer el emérito rey belga Alberto II. Actualmente hay en el planeta 27 monarquías: algunas simbólicas y otras con verdadero poder geoestratégico. Hoy nos preguntamos por el rol que juegan en pleno siglo 21. Un presunto "anacronismo" que sin embargo se reproduce en democracias tan solventes como Dinamarca, Suecia o Holanda. Nos acompañan en esta edición: --Luisa Corradini, corresponsal de La Nación--Alan Riding, excorresponsal del NYT en Latinaomérica--Adeline Rucquoi, Historiadora, especialista de la península ibérica y mundo medieval--Y desde Londres nuestro corresponsal, Juan Carlos Bejarano,  que nos va a poner al tanto de las últimas polémicas que ha tenido que gestionar Isabel II  ¿Se justifican las monarquías en el mundo actual? ¿Los beneficios de representación y comerciales son su argumento principal de existencia? Son algunas de las cuestiones que afrotamos esta semana en En Primera Plana con nuestros invitados. Hablaremos de la popularidad de Isabel II, del papel vertebrador del rey de Bélgica, del rol de Felipe VI en España o del veradero poder que sí tienen los monarcas del Golfo Pérsico.   #EnPrimeraPlana de RFI y France24. Puede seguir en nuestra página de Facebook todas nuestras emisiones anteriores.

The Order of the Solar Temple was a secret society that would go down sharing the pages of history with Jonestown, the Branch Davidians and Heaven’s Gate. But is it fair to compare the groups? When it comes to incidents of mass violence and cults, perhaps it may be unavoidable. Because whether they ended in mass murder-suicide or a different form of violence, in spite of the striking ideological differences between them, there were some similarities – in all of these groups that ended with such undeniable tragedy.Full research sources listed on each episode page at www.ltaspod.com.If you have been personally affected by involvement in a cult, or would like to support those who have been, you can find support or donate to Cult Information and Family Support if you’re in Australia (via www.cifs.org.au), and you can find resources outside of Australia with the International Cultic Studies Association (via www.icsahome.com).If you or someone you know is in crisis or needs support right now, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14 in Australia, or find your local crisis centre via the International Association for Suicide Prevention website at www.iasp.info.Links: Violence and New Religious Movements — by James R.

When the English concert pianist Joyce Hatto died in 2006, she was remembered as a national treasure for the brilliant playing on her later recordings. But then doubts arose as to whether the performances were really hers. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll review a surprising case of musical plagiarism, which touched off a scandal in the polite world of classical music. We'll also spot foxes in London and puzzle over a welcome illness. Intro: In 1964 a British meteorologist found an abandoned whaleboat on the most remote island in the world. Scores of dogs have jumped to their deaths from the bridge approaching Scotland's Overtoun House.

It doesn’t take much to convince us to celebrate Shakespeare, so we couldn’t let the 400th anniversary of the bard shuffling off his mortal coil pass without raising a glass to the be-all and the end-all of English literature. Join Master of Ceremonies, author and journalist Alan Riding (Essential Shakespeare Handbook, And The Show Went On) along with a cast of actors and musicians, for an evening of songs, soliloquies, sonnets, sound and perhaps even a little fury. It will be such stuff as dreams are made on!

This week, Alan Riding discusses two new books about Shakespeare’s women characters and his personal life; Parul Sehgal and John Williams have news from the literary world; Michelle Orange talks about five new essay collections; and Gregory Cowles has best-seller news. Pamela Paul is the host.

This week, Alan Riding discusses Patrick Modiano’s “Suspended Sentences”; Alexandra Alter has news from the literary world; Judith Newman talks about Ruth Goodman’s “How to Be a Victorian”; and best-seller news. Pamela Paul is the host.

Only eight days after German tanks rolled into Paris, silent and deserted in the summer of 1940, France accepted defeat and foreign occupation. But even though a swastika flew over the city, cultural life survived and even flourished. Maurice Chevalier and Edith Piaf sang for French and German audiences. Pablo Picasso painted in his Left Bank apartment, even though his work was officially banned. Over 200 French films were produced, including the classic “Les Enfants du Paradis”, and thousands of books were published by authors as politically divergent as the anti-Semite Céline and the anti-Nazi Jean-Paul Sartre. But as Jews, including artists, fled or were deported to concentration camps, many French intellectuals began to join the resistance and debate the role of artists in war. Were artists saving or betraying their country by continuing to work? Journalist Alan Riding, author of And the Show Went On: Cultural Life in Nazi-Occupied Paris, visited Zócalo to explore the life, work, and moral responsibility of artists in times of war.

Welcome to another edition of the Classic Newsnight podcast. This week, we find out why the Philharmonia Orchestra is casting its net across the globe in an initiative called “Groove Search”. Find out how you could win the opportunity to hear a ditty you've written recorded by one of this country's top bands! We also feature our resident bookworm, Chris Powling, who's chosen three excellent books for us to enjoy, now the nights are drawing in. Then we consult the Classic FM doctor, Rob Hicks. This week, Rob is focusing on arthritis; a disease that affects millions of people in this country alone. And finally, we meet Alan Riding, who's co-written the Dorling Kindersley Eyewitness Companion to Opera. I hope you enjoy listening.
