"Epitaph" is an example of calligraphic work by the renowned Ottoman calligrapher Sheikh Hamdullah (1436-1520). This artwork, written in a formal, elegant style, displays Islamic verses in flowing Arabic script. The piece uses a striking contrast between the black script and gold background, highlighting the beauty of the text. Hamdullah is considered one of the most influential figures in the history of Ottoman calligraphy, and this piece is a testament to his mastery of the art.
