The eighteenth century saw the Ottoman capital Istanbul undergo some of its most significant physical changes. Restored as the seat of government in 1703 after the court had spent fifty years in Edirne, the city became the site of lavish architectural patronage intended to reinscribe the sultans' presence. This campaign culminated in the years 1740-1800 with two distinct but related developments: the revival of the imperial mosque as a building type, and the creation of a new architectural style---the so-called Ottoman Baroque---informed by Western models. Though these shifts have typically been viewed within a well-established decline paradigm branding the material decadent and derivative, this study demonstrates that the eighteenth-century mosques were powerful symbols of sultanic authority designed to reassert and redefine the empire's standing on a changing world stage.

520 $a The eighteenth century saw the Ottoman capital Istanbul undergo some of its most significant physical changes. Restored as the seat of government in 1703 after the court had spent fifty years in Edirne, the city became the site of lavish architectural patronage intended to reinscribe the sultans' presence. This campaign culminated in the years 1740-1800 with two distinct but related developments: the revival of the imperial mosque as a building type, and the creation of a new architectural style---the so-called Ottoman Baroque---informed by Western models. Though these shifts have typically been viewed within a well-established decline paradigm branding the material decadent and derivative, this study demonstrates that the eighteenth-century mosques were powerful symbols of sultanic authority designed to reassert and redefine the empire's standing on a changing world stage.
520 $a The dissertation engages a range of unexplored primary sources, including Ottoman diaries and Western diplomatic reports, to reconsider the mosques as exemplary buildings by which to understand broader cultural and sociopolitical shifts. Reflecting the growing importance of sultanic visibility, the buildings evinced ever bolder devices for proclaiming their royal status. These innovations, which distinguished the mosques from Istanbul's existing architecture, won the admiration of the empire's inhabitants, for whom the structures were charged settings in which to view the sultans' ceremonial visits. Moreover, the new style---with its conspicuous but creatively adapted Western references---also spoke to an international audience, impressing foreign travelers and diplomats who recognized its cross-cultural tenor. Challenging existing scholarly approaches that either condemn the architecture as imitative or vindicate it by underplaying its Western elements, I contend that the Ottoman court---utilizing the expertise of native non-Muslim artisans with networks in Europe---deliberately fashioned a globally legible style befitting an age of heightened East-West contact. The existence of comparable traditions like the Petrine Baroque in Russia provides a meaningful framework for this reinterpretation, as too does the Ottomans' own claim to an antique architectural heritage, expressed through the mosques' numerous Byzantine allusions. This remarkably cosmopolitan new style permanently transformed the Ottoman capital's fabric, establishing a model that would remain influential until the empire's end.
