This paper examines the 16th-century artistic and celebratory representations of the Battle of Lepanto, a legendary naval conflict between the Ottoman Empire and the Holy League. Viewed through the eyes of its contemporaries, it particularly focuses on religious depictions, highlighting the symbolic significance attributed to this event in Italian art during the Counter-Reformation period. It analyzes the Battle of Lepanto, a crucial naval encounter on October 7, 1571, for its extended symbolism beyond military significance, as seen through the perspectives of contemporary artists.

In this study, Naz Defne Kut deals with the Ottoman perspective of the Battle of Lepanto through Ottoman sources and she presents how the Ottoman court, chroniclers and other contemporaries of the battle have reflected on and narrated the ‘Lepanto defeat’. As the scholar emphasizes, in contrast to the literary, artistic and religious reflections of the 'Lepanto victory' in Europe, the Sublime Porte minimized the dimensions of the defeat in their official reactions and considered it as a negligible misfortune, yet its devastating effects are notable in the narratives of contemporary Ottoman chroniclers. While the historiographical documentation and visual representations of the Ottoman victories, such as the conquest of Preveza (1538) and the conquest of Cyprus (1571), are traditionally abundant in the sixteenth-century Ottoman literary and visual accounts, the literature on the Battle of Lepanto is scarce. Furthermore, the visual representations of Lepanto as a locality, such as miniature paintings or the portolan charts, are mostly limited to the works of the pre-1571 era.

Bu çalışma, İnebahtı Muharebesi'nin 1571'den günümüze kadar Avrupalı sanatçılar tarafından nasıl resmedildiğini ve yüzyıllar içinde nasıl tarihsel tutarlılıktan uzak sembolik bir anlatıya dönüştüğünü göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada, İnebahtı Savaşı'nın Avrupa sanat tarihindeki yerini vurgulamak açısından, tarihsel tutarlılık kaygısıyla yapılan ve bilgilendirme amacı taşıyan gravürlerden, İnebahtı'yı bir deniz savaşı şeklinde resmeden deniz sanatı eserlerinden ve dini mesaj verme amacı taşıyan sembolik resimlerden örnekler sunulmakta ve zaman içinde İnebahtı odaklı sanatsal üretimin ağırlık merkezinin, olanı tasvir eden resimlerden tahayyül edilenin resmedildiği sembolik resimlere doğru nasıl değiştiği tartışılmaktadır.
