Turkish "Miniatures" Painting as an art form has existed since the  7th century.  Miniatures Painting can be compared as the "Illustration"  of books in today's world.  "Miniatures Paintings"  ordained books hand written by very talented calligraphers...These books told all events that happened  in the palace of the Sultans (Circumption Feasts, Battles, Glories , Parties ext...)

As the "portraying" was forbidden by the Muslim Religion; Turkish artists couldn't develop their styles like their occidental colleagues did after the "Renaissance".  Only, in the beginning of the 19th century can we distinguish very good artist-painters performing on the international art scene.

I will chronically give examples (photos of the paintings) of Turkish artists;
