"Plan and View of the Suleymaniye Mosque Istanbul" is a detailed architectural drawing created by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, an influential architect and theorist of the Baroque period. This work is part of Fischer von Erlach's collection of engravings published in his seminal book "Entwurf einer historischen Architektur" (A Plan of Civil and Historical Architecture), first printed in 1721. The book is considered one of the first comparative studies of world architecture and includes illustrations of important architectural monuments from various countries and eras.

The illustration of the Suleymaniye Mosque, a grand mosque in Istanbul designed by the Ottoman imperial architect Mimar Sinan and completed in 1557, showcases Fischer von Erlach's interest in the Ottoman architectural style and his broader examination of non-European architecture. His depiction of the Suleymaniye Mosque is not only a testament to his respect for Sinan's work but also an example of the exchange of architectural ideas between the East and the West during the early 18th century.

Fischer von Erlach's drawing is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and its combination of plan and elevation views. The work provides a comprehensive understanding of the mosque's layout, structure, and design elements, reflecting the grandeur and complexity of this architectural masterpiece. "Plan and View of the Suleymaniye Mosque Istanbul" is significant for its contribution to the dissemination of knowledge about Islamic architecture in the Western world and remains an important reference for historians and architects studying the cross-cultural influences in architectural history.
