Özet:

 A contemporary look at the Maidens Tower in Ottoman books and buildings, which we miss due to the restoration, revealed quite different depictions of Istanbul, each of which bore traces of several hands and eyes. This study examined the Maidens Tower depictions in those embroideries, which had a long history and spread over a broad region in the Ottoman Empire. It is seen that the observation, knowledge and designs of folk artists meet with technique and ability, especially in hand-drawn examples where those who support and order the artist are known but the owners of the works are not. Figures in the enlarged sample area together with miniatures that set the stage for hand-drawn examples and examples turned into wall paintings; Topographic urban depictions, hand-drawn illustrations and wall paintings were examined separately under the titles of Istanbul depictions, and the characteristics of change and development in the chronological framework were tried to be determined. The chronological changes in those figures were also described in this endeavor. Just like any attempt to describe an artworks imaginary and realistic aspects, our primary intention was to depict the Maidens Tower, a unique and inspirational symbol of Istanbul, with its artistic reality and beauty. Thus, it is aimed to take a step towards achieving the purpose of evaluating the importance of the Maidens Tower in Istanbul and the Ottomans who carried the depictions of Istanbul to their homes, and the bond it established with the city within the framework of art.

 Öz Restorasyon nedeniyle özlediğimiz şu günlerde Kız Kulesini Osmanlı kitaplarında ve yapılarında aramak, her biri farklı ellerin ve bakışların izini taşıyan birbirinden oldukça farklı İstanbul tasvirlerini karşımıza çıkarmıştır. Osmanlı coğrafyasına yayılan geniş örneklem alanında yüzyıllar içinde yapılan bu nakışlardaki Kız Kulesi figürleri; tasarım, teknik ve gerçeklik açısından incelenmiştir. Bu figürler topografik kent tasvirleri, kalem işi ve duvar resimlerinde İstanbul tasvirleri başlıkları altında ayrı ayrı incelenerek kronolojik çerçevede meydana gelen değişim ve gelişim özellikleri tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. İnsan elinin değdiği hayalle gerçeğin birbirine karıştığı her sanat eserinde olduğu gibi güzellik hissini oluşturan o karışımı anlatma gibi zorlama bir çabadan ziyade ilham kaynağı olan ve İstanbul gibi bir şehrin simge yapısı Kız Kulesini sanat gerçekliği ve güzelliğiyle sunmak ana hedefi teşkil etmektedir. Anahtar kelimeler: Osmanlı, kalem işi, İstanbul tasvirleri, kız kulesi Abstract A contemporary look at the Maidens Tower in Ottoman books and buildings, which we miss due to the restoration, revealed quite different depictions of Istanbul, each of which bore traces of several hands and eyes. This study examined the Maidens Tower depictions in those embroideries, which had a long history and spread over a broad region in the Ottoman Empire. The figures were assessed in terms of design, technique, and reality and categorized under the headings of topographic urban depictions, hand-drawn illustrations, and wall paintings of Istanbul. The chronological changes in those figures were also described in this endeavor. Just like any attempt to describe an artworks imaginary and realistic aspects, our primary intention was to depict the Maidens Tower, a unique and inspirational symbol of Istanbul, with its artistic reality and beauty.
