EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th-century oil painting, titled "View of Constantinople (Istanbul) and the Seraglio from the Swedish Legation in Pera" by Antoine van der Steen, transports us back in time to the vibrant and exotic city of Constantinople (now Istanbul) during the Dutch Golden Age. Painted between 1770 and 1780, this masterpiece showcases the breathtaking coastal scenery of the city, with its colorful and diverse buildings, winding streets, and the majestic Seraglio, or Topkapi Palace, standing proudly on the hill. The painting offers a unique perspective, as it was created from the vantage point of the Swedish Legation in Pera, a European quarter located on the European side of the Bosphorus Strait. The artist skillfully captures the contrast between the European and Turkish worlds, with the modern European buildings in the foreground and the traditional Turkish architecture in the background. The painting's rich colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, from the rippling waters of the Bosphorus to the bustling activity of the city's streets. The Seraglio, a symbol of Turkish power and heritage, dominates the skyline, its red and gold domes glinting in the sun. This painting is a valuable addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the cultural exchange that took place between Europe and the Ottoman Empire during the 18th century. It is a testament to Antoine van der Steen's artistic talent and his ability to capture the essence of a place and a moment in time.
