One more time about “the problem of Seljuk art”

Authors

Abstract

The article deals with the history of so-called “Seljuk problem” in Eastern art historiography. Native researchers had to return to this problem more then once. It was caused by high quality of artistic monuments, architectural first of all, dating back not only to the time of Great Seljuk State, and extended to the large territories subordinate to Turkic dynasties. Were Turk-Seljuks real creators of enormous number of “Seljuk art” monuments, or one can speak only about making the favorable conditions for local art schools and state-guaranteed orders? Impossibility of simple answer results in concealment of Seljuk period, which weakens down the idea of Muslim architectural development.

Keywords:
