The original article was very scant, so it's great that you were able to find so much information to add.

The lead is great - you immediately give dates and who he was working under, as well what type and style of art he was known for. For this sentence: "He is a well-regarded Ottoman miniaturists known for his traditional and innovative style" (just remove the "s"), I would phrase it either: "He was a well-regarded Ottoman miniaturist known for his traditional and innovative style" or "He is well-regarded as a Ottoman miniaturist known for his traditional and innovative style". Because this is a historical figure, either use "was" or "is" if you're describing how he is regarded now. Finally, I would move the last sentence under the "Biography section" - where and when he died is important biographical information, but I don't think it needs to be included in the lead, because that is supposed to be more general overview information.

For the "Biography" section, I think a lot of the information could be moved to subsequence sections, so that you're no repeating information and because I think talking about his notable works and style is less relevant to biographical information. If you find any other information about his birth family, life, travels, relationships, or death; this would be the section to put them in.

For this sentence: "He eventually became a master artist in the saz style during his stay at the palace atelier," first, I am wondering if "Palace Atelier" should be capitalized, because it seems to be a specific place. Second, if you're able to find any information about what the "saz style" was, I think it would be good to included it, because I don't think the average reading is going to know what that is, and that would be helpful to get a better understanding of Levnî's artistic style. For this sentence: "In chapter two, His identity, Gül Ìrepoglu has gathered evidenced pointing to the fact that he did not have much money and struggled with an illness in his early twenties," I can see by the citation that you're referencing a book written by Gül Ìrepoglu. Because you specifically mention a chapter in this book, I think it would be helpful to give a little more context that you are using a resource here, and maybe why this specific author is important. Also, is "His identity" the title of the chapter? If so, I would try to make that clearer. You could also circumvent this by just saying "There is evidence..." and then providing the citation; because this isn't a research paper, I don't think you have to worry as much about providing specific information about the author or book in the text itself. Finally, a couple grammatical fixes: "Nevertheless, Levnî was still well-regarded in and out of court and outside as ian independent artist of his time."

For "Notable Works," I think it's great to have these subsections that are separated by each work, it's a very clear way of organizing the information and is helpful for the reader if they are looking for something specific. For this sentence: "Typical padishas use text to do this," I would add a link to the wikipedia page - Padishah - because it's a specialized term. It also looks like there are some images of his work on the original page; if you're able to identify any of those and potentially match them up with specific works you are writing about here, I think that could be very helpful for the reader.

Overall, you have added so much important information that was lacking from this page. I think the organization structure is great with moving just a couple of things around, and proving the above clarifications would be very helpful.
