YAZI - RESİM SÜSLEMESİNE BİR ÖRNEK: AMENTÜ GEMİSİ
Abstract
The art of calligraphy emerged by using writing and painting together. Despite the fact that there is no prohibition of depiction in the Qur'an, the attitude of the Islamic faith towards painting was effective in the emergence of this art Hurufism and Mevlevi-Bektashis also had an impact on its development. Calligraphy, which is a folk art, is done within the framework of master-apprentice relationship. It is grouped as calligraphies with religious content and mystical content. There are examples of the stork in the form of Basmala, Ali's (R.A.) camel, Ali's (R.A.) human face with the writing of Ali (R.A.), ewer, oil lamp, Ashab-i Kahf, Amentu prayer in the form of a ship. The letters waw in the Amentu ship ornament reflect people rowing. There are examples of the Amentu ship depicted with and without a deckhouse. There the letters waw are used in the sense of "and" and express the believer's belief in Allah, his angels, books, prophets, the Last Day, the good, and the evil. Between the letters waw, the names of the Seven Sleepers are written. Meanings are attributed to some calligraphic ornaments. There are beliefs that it will bring prosperity, luck and provide protection against fire and plague. For this reason, Ashab-i Kahf and Amentu ship decorations are encountered in mosques, houses, coffee houses, and shops In our research, examples of ornaments in which the Amentu prayer is handled in the form of a ship were identified. This form, which is applied to hand drawings, stone, paper, and wood materials, has found a place in Turkish Islamic ornamentation art in several ways. The form was evaluated within the scope of decorative arts and Art History in particular, and its contribution to 19th century ornamentation arts was discussed.
