The Tulip Era from 1718 to 1730 was a relatively peaceful period in which the Ottoman Empire oriented itself more towards Europe. The name of the period derives from the fact that was a tulip craze. Tulips were widely purchased by the nobility and came to represent the fashion of the era. The artifacts of culture and the arts throughout the empire had seen a sharp increase. Capital had new housing projects, especially the establishment of yalis in the Bosporus. Artistic expression became associated with the capital with new captial sponsorship for artisans. This appreciation for artistic achievements extended to other areas of culture like science and academic studies.
