Hamid Al Amidi
Born in 1891 in the city of "Diyar-e-Bakr" south Anatolia, Turkey. His real name is "Moses Azmi", the renamed as "Hamid Aytash Alamidi" after his village. He studied in the great Mosque named "Ulu" in his village. His calligraphy work embodied all kinds of Arab calligraphic types, but he was greatly famous in "Jali Thulth". Hamid Al Amidi has many writings on the domes and walls of mosques which can be seen in Turkey as a legacy of some of his calligraphy for verses of the Holy Quran, such as: "Ayoub Mosque", "Paschbahchi Mosque", "Haji Koushk Mosque" in Istanbul, the dome of "Cokhateb Mosque" in Ankara and many other mosques in Istanbul and Densley and "Shana Kalaa". The master piece of his production was when he copied the Holy Quran twice in a beautiful Nsekh type. It has been reprinted recently in Istanbul and Berlin. |
