| Abstract | The session will focus on a few meeting points between Latin and Islamic art, which occurred as result of the Venetian diplomatic and economic activity. Prof. Aygül Ağır will present the Anatolian Medieval khans as architectural consequence of the commercial treaties of the Seljuk Sultans, among others-the Venetian–Seljuk treaty made in 1220 between Venetian Podestà in Constantinople and the Seljuk Sultan of Konya, Alaeddin Keykubad. Sandy Amariglio will examines seven Fatimid ivory panels dated to the mid-11th century, most probably brought to Venice from Cairo and reused as a frame for the early 14th-century frontispiece from the Scuola di San Giovanni Evangelista. Rafał Quirini-Popławski will focus on the activity of Alvise Novi, architect of Venetian origin, active at the construction and decoration of the Khan's Palace in Bakhchisaray in Crimea. |
