"View of a Mosque in Bursa and a Mosque in Hungary" is a set of architectural drawings by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, an influential architect and designer of the Baroque period. These works are part of a larger collection of engravings found in Fischer von Erlach's seminal work, "Entwurf einer historischen Architektur" (A Plan of Civil and Historical Architecture), first published in 1721. This publication is considered one of the first comparative studies of world architecture and includes illustrations of historical and contemporary buildings from various cultures.

The "View of a Mosque in Bursa" depicts the Grand Mosque of Bursa, also known as Ulu Cami, a significant example of early Ottoman architecture in Turkey. The mosque, commissioned by Sultan Bayezid I and completed in 1399, is renowned for its large size, multi-domed structure, and the incorporation of Seljuk architectural elements. Fischer von Erlach's representation, while not entirely accurate, reflects the European fascination with the Orient and the attempt to document and understand Islamic architecture during the period.

The "Mosque in Hungary" likely refers to the architectural remnants of Ottoman-era mosques that existed in Hungary during the time of Fischer von Erlach. Hungary was under Ottoman rule from the mid-16th to the late 17th century, and several mosques were constructed during this period. However, by the time of Fischer von Erlach's work, many of these mosques had been converted to other uses or had fallen into disrepair. His depiction would have been based on surviving structures or historical records, and it serves as a document of the cultural and architectural exchange between the Ottoman Empire and Central Europe.

Together, these works by Fischer von Erlach not only showcase his interest in and study of Islamic architecture but also contribute to the broader European understanding of architectural forms and styles beyond their own borders. They reflect the early 18th-century European intellectual curiosity about the wider world and represent a significant effort to create a comprehensive architectural history that includes diverse cultural influences.
