{"product_id":"kita-calligraphic-composition-sheikh-hamdullah","title":"Kıta (Calligraphic Composition) - Sheikh Hamdullah","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fine example of Ottoman calligraphy by Sheikh Hamdullah, featuring precise Thuluth and Naskh scripts framed by decorative floral illumination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is a fine example of a kıta, a specific format of Ottoman calligraphy designed for study or display. Sheikh Hamdullah, a master of the Ottoman tradition, refined the scripts used in this piece, particularly the Thuluth and Naskh styles. The composition displays a hierarchical arrangement of text, where larger, bolder characters occupy the upper and lower panels, while smaller, more densely packed lines fill the central section. This structure allows the viewer to appreciate both the grand scale of the primary script and the technical precision required for the smaller, secondary text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aesthetic quality of the piece relies on the balance between the ink work and the surrounding illumination. The central panel is framed by decorative motifs, featuring floral patterns rendered in blue and gold. These elements provide a visual anchor for the text, creating a sense of order within the page. The paper itself is treated with a subtle, aged tone, which complements the dark ink and the metallic lustre of the gold leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSheikh Hamdullah is credited with bringing a new sense of proportion and grace to the Ottoman calligraphic canon. His approach moved away from the rigid styles of his predecessors, favouring a more fluid, balanced form. This kıta demonstrates his ability to integrate text and ornament into a unified whole. The precision of the pen strokes, particularly in the sweeping curves of the Thuluth script, reveals the high level of training and discipline inherent in this craft. As a museum-grade print, this reproduction captures the texture of the original paper and the delicate application of gold, offering a clear view of the master's hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/the-siege-of-arbela-in-the-era-of-hulagu-khan-basavana\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Siege of Arbela in the Era of Hulagu Khan - Basavana — Basawan\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/calligraphic-manuscript-page-mir-emad-hassani\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eCalligraphic Manuscript Page - Mir Emad Hassani — Mir Emad Hassani\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sheikh Hamdullah","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58790678495567,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58791078166863,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58791078199631,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58791078232399,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58791078265167,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58791078297935,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58791078330703,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58791078363471,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58791078396239,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58791078429007,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58791078461775,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58791078494543,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/K-ta-Calligraphic-Composition-_Poster_CompositorV1_1789493780241.jpg?v=1789494383","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/kita-calligraphic-composition-sheikh-hamdullah","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
