Nevertheless, the large quantities of
stone engravings, textiles, ceramics, works of art made of metal, wood, leather
which have survived to the present day, prove that the above mentioned cultural
circles were quite developed in other fields of art. The oldest examples of
Turkish pictures for walls are from the 6th, 7th and 8th centuries. The
withering influence of natural conditions have prevented the survival of these
first examples.
Prophet Mohammed tranquilizes the dragon on the way of the
caravan, "Siyer-I Nebi" end of the 16th century.
Samarkand was renowned
during 6th-8th centuries by its drawing workshops where illustrations on wood,
plaster and leather were made. These works influenced greatly the Anatolian
Seljuk period. The most important development of the 9th century Uygur Turks in
the art of painting, was accomplished by the painters and their school in the
town of Kizilkent. Their sense of light in pictures and their search for the
influence and impression of shadow and light, served largely for the formation
of Seljuk miniature school and canalized it.
The Tun-Huang monastery
and library of Uygur Turks has a special importance. Among thousands of books
in the library there are the oldest Turkish gilded and miniature manuscripts.
The oldest wooden print and illustrated book in the world belongs to Uygurs and
is in the above library. The date of the book is 868. Another important aspect
of this find is that some manuscripts have been written in letters same with
the ones on the Gökturk Orhun epitaphs.
