Ottoman Calligraphy is a form of artistic writing that flourished during the Ottoman Empire, which lasted from the late 13th century to the early 20th century. This style is characterized by its fluid, elegant lines and intricate designs, often used to create decorative texts, religious manuscripts, and architectural inscriptions. The primary script used in Ottoman Calligraphy is Diwani, known for its cursive style and complexity. Calligraphers, or hatters, trained for years to master this art, which was highly regarded in Ottoman culture. The beauty of the script reflects the empire's rich artistic heritage and appreciation for literature.
