Question

The Mosque of Selim II demonstrates the sultan's ability to approve

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is A)

The Mosque of Selim II demonstrates the Sultan's ability to approve the interior organisation of a religious space.

Explanation:

The mosques' placement was compared by Gülru Necipoğlu, a leading Ottoman art historian, to that of a church’s altar. She stated that while the innovation on the interior disrupts the space below the dome, it indicated the Chief Architects' interest in outdoing Christian architecture.

The chief architect - Koca Mi'mâr Sinân Âğâ and also engineer provided his services to the Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, Selim II, and Murad III.

Of course, it is reasonable to expect that such a huge historically significant project will not take off without the express ratification of the Selim.

Cheers!
