The western artistic effects were influential on the Ottoman artistic
style after the seventeenth century, until which the incessant wars and
military campaigns together with the religious effects were the main
elements of art. The change in taste or fashion was towards more intimate
figure studies and scenes from daily life. Surname's of Sultan's show
many scenes from festivities. There are other individual scientific and
artistic paintings which reflect western styles of idea and art.
