Holbein rugs, named after the Renaissance painter Hans Holbein the Younger, are a notable category of Anatolian carpets frequently depicted in European Renaissance paintings. These rugs, often dating from the 16th to 17th centuries, are renowned for their geometric medallion designs and artistic influence.
The Holbein Rugs Photo Gallery includes examples such as a large-pattern Holbein carpet fragment from the 16th century, a rug from the Seyh Baba Yusuf Mosque in Eskisehir, and a medallion Holbein carpet from the late 16th century. These pieces illustrate the historical and artistic significance of Holbein rugs, preserved in collections and museums worldwide.
