RADIANT NOVEL CASTS SEEING IN NEW LIGHT
2002
Overview
My Name is Red is [Orhan Pamuk]'s most ambitious work. Set in 16th Century Istanbul, it concerns the commission of a book of illuminated art, a murder of one of the artists, artistic freedom and the depiction of reality, a practice prohibited by the Koran. Art must be stylized, whether it depicts people, animals or plants, but this new commission is to contain a lifelike portrait of the current Sultan, a work in the Western style that will revolutionize the centuries-old practice of book illumination. It is likened to Venetian artistry \"that duped the viewer by trying to depict reality itself rather than its representation, in all its detail: pictures, shadows included, of cardinals, bridges, rowboats . . . churches and stables . . . as if all of them were of the same importance to Allah.\"
