In the eighteenth century, the European fascination with the Ottoman world led to the development of an aesthetic phenomenon, turquerie, which expressed the vision of a fantasized Orient.

Based on an in-depth examination of painting, architecture, interior decoration and theatre, this book offers an analysis of this extravagant 18th-century European fantasy, which continues to seduce amateurs and collectors.
