Prof. Dr. A. S\u00fcheyl \u00dcnver left to the worlds of art, culture, and scholarship.<\/p>\n<p>A physician, historian of medicine, painter, archivist, teacher, and a man of culture, A. S\u00fcheyl \u00dcnver was one of the most distinguished names in twentieth-century Turkish cultural life. Through his notebooks, works, studies on manuscripts, and the students he trained, he left behind a lasting body of knowledge and artistic practice. Trained at the Medreset\u00fc\u2019l-Hatt\u00e2t\u00een, \u00dcnver produced works in traditional arts such as miniature painting, illumination, calligraphy, and marbling. He regarded these arts as a living value to be carried into the future.<\/p>\n<p>The competition aims to make A. S\u00fcheyl \u00dcnver\u2019s legacy visible on an international level, to support the faithful and accomplished practice of classical miniature painting, and to bring together artists from different countries on a shared cultural and artistic ground, thereby contributing original and high-quality works to the field of miniature painting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Theme of the Competition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The theme of the competition is\u00a0<strong>\u201cS\u00fcheyl \u00dcnver\u2019s Legacy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Participants are expected to produce original works in the classical miniature style, drawing inspiration from the works, artistic sensibility, and understanding of cultural heritage of A. S\u00fcheyl \u00dcnver, a many-sided artist and scholar.<\/p>\n<p>Within this framework, the works may be shaped around \u00dcnver\u2019s city notebooks, his studies in the history of medicine, his interest in manuscripts, his research on Seljuk and Ottoman art and architecture, his attention to Istanbul and the cities of Anatolia, and his lifelong dedication to the traditional arts.<\/p>\n<p>The competition seeks to carry S\u00fcheyl \u00dcnver\u2019s legacy and his innovative artistic sensibility into the future through original miniature interpretations by new generations of artists.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Participation Conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The competition is open to amateur and professional artists from all countries.
